I acually bought them a while back from a moparts member on here, he said he got them directly from indy.
Well, I hope it is not a functional issue (casting problem). I wouldn't expect any head company to do anything about color appearnce... If you had bought them recently from a registered dealer, they might go above and beyond if it was possible. And since they are technically used heads now (changed owners), I don't expect anyone to do anything.
Check them out carefully, and just do whatever appearance/cosmetic finish you want. Just a reality check, sorry.

... just deciding on what valves to order and cutting the heads for spring cups.
From all the posts about rocker clearance, be sure and get valves long enough to not need +0.050" retainers, or lash caps. If they are a touch long, you can put -0.050" retainers on and that should give even more retainer to rocker clearance.
But if you are going with 1.5" dia springs and a low installed height (1.90"), then it shouldn't be an issue. If you want 1.95-2.00" and/or 1.625" springs, give this attention when buying valves. 
This is when a race head shop is worth the money to get it right the first time instead of band-aiding the the issue.
