You need to sand it down and get it silky smooth and then use some high temperature paint on it afaik.

Just key up the manifold a little bit and then use some of halfords Very high temperature paint as Steve said. No need for primer or laquer and looks really good.

Heres mine painted with the Renaultsport bit part polished. Took me half hour to prep and paint it, dries really quickly.

Looks much much better than hammerite/powdercoating it.

TBH Hamerite is fine on the inlet as it doesn't get that hot.
