Default Painting intake manifold?

I did a search and could not find the threads that I had seen before. I have seen on previous threads people using different kinds of paint on there intake manifolds. My question is which paint would be the best to use and have the longevity of quality. In other words, I don't want to have to take the damn thing off again just because it starts to peel in one area. Pics would be nice too. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I sanded mine smooth, then i took it to a body shop and had a base/clear done to it. I drive over 80 miles a day, and have put over 1000 miles on mine, still looking perfect.
