I had great luck using POR15 factory manifold gray
paint on the manifold of my spitfire.You must sand blast the manifold
and not touch it again until it is painted. Apparently the oil from your skin
will
stop the paint from adhering if you touch it. The results were great, the
manifold looks like raw cast iron and hasn't discolored with a year of driving.
Hope this helps
