Paint, schmaint. Even if you do paint your alloy body, it DOES matter. Just look underneath.
Conversation at the local car show...
Owner: "Yes siree, it's the most accurate replica in the world, right down to the fuse box, switches, gauges, knobs, wiring, a 1965 427 side-oiler (no faux FE like a 428) block, medium riser heads, with the OEM carb and fuel lines and fuel log, original Sunburst wheels. Etc., etc."
Car Show Attendee: "Is the body aluminum?"
Owner: "Er, uh, um, no."
Car Show Attendee: "Oy vey."
