Default exhaust manifold

ive got my exhaust manifold off at the minute and its looking a bit manky
i want to clean it up before i put it back on but not sure what to use
are them high temp paints any good for such a job or will it start flaking off after a couple weeks?
was thinking about wire brushing it and painting
anyone got any better suggestions?
