I came across this a while ago, it is probably how I would go if I decide
upgrade the lights on my cars:

I've painted manifolds with various high-temp paints, and have had good
results. On a used/rusty manifold, it is probably worthwhile to get it
blasted in some manner. The last ones I did were for my TR8, I had them
blasted, then used Rustoeleum high temp primer and then paint. They've held
up for two years and still look great.
