Here's what I use Krylon #3370 works great
Here's the only picture I have of my intakes painted, but you can see what it looks like, I had to sand it off to make the intakes fit different tin...but you get the idea

the speedwell linkage had the same treatment , mine is a repro and don't have the original treatment but , i've reproduced that finish with 3M antigravillon ,it's gravel protection with a special texture like the RACE-TRIMm finish
So far I haven't had problems with the heat of the engine, it hold on my linkage, but on manifold it will hold too

There is also a Harley Davidson paint that looks very similar

I use the Krylon stuff. 3 coats, about 5 minutes apart, then wait 10 minutes and hit it with the heat gun. It works on Slinger's valve covers, so I'm sure it will work on intake manifolds.
