Daryl, have a talk to these guys:

I've used their Australian counterparts's "Satin Black" on several Ford V8 exhaust manifolds, and the performance is superb. One pair of those manifolds have now racked up over 15 years with no discolouration or loss of coverage. Engine bay temps are lower, too. Cast Iron Grey would look the part, also.
The process is not a paint, it's a baked on ceramic coating that bonds to the iron. Not as cheap as paint, but your manifold will last for years.
