you can use Simoniz 5 wheel silver wheel paint, the laquer burns off leaving a thin aluminium coating, this will go brownish near to engine but a cheap & simple solution.

You can get specific manifold paint from AutoSuppliers.. It goes a bit dusty and doesnt last forever but its not that bad, the brush on stuff is normally better than the spray as you can get it on a bit thicker.

How about thermotec wrap instead ? I'm considering it..

Only ever wrap stainless manifolds, otherwise they rust in no time !

If you have a look in a Demon Tweaks catalogue they usually have some exotic exhaust paints.

I wouldn't even consider this. If you want to reduce under bonnet temps and improve the look get them HPC coated. It's expensive and will involved removing them but it is the only thing worth doing.
