Engine manifold spray paint. Heat resistant etc.
It lays like powder coating, real nice matt finish and seems very close to the engine cover colour. I used a heat-gun between layers as it cures almost instantly with heat.
Maybe a silly question... Did you take the manifold off to do that?

It was only the intake that I painted not the manifold (I still use engine cover), but yeah I removed it. It's spray-paint/rattle-can paint not a brushed on liquid.
When I paint in my garage I usually hang the item at head-height for accurate coverage, and use a heat gun after each coat to aid the drying/curing process. This way the paint is hard enough for me to handle the same day if I'm gentle enough when re-fitting.

A two day update:

Garageline 20mm spacers all around... excuse the curbed wheels (previous owner)

Ultra Racing Front Strut Tower Bar! I didn't just chose it because it was white and matches but that is a big plus!

Honestly, it was kind of a pain to install! I had to really crank it over on one side to get it over the studs... ended up using a rubber mallet to really get it seated. The car definitely feels more planted with the bar/spacer combo.

I have a Whiteline Rear Sway bar and the CTR front brace waiting to go in this weekend. Drop springs are ordered but delayed till June.
