Cast Iron Brake Drum / Exhaust Manifold Restoration

Can anyone reccomend a paint & prep required to match factory finish on cast iron brake drums and stock exhaust manifods?
I know manifolds require high temp paint, but what about drums

I think the factory used the same cheap black paint on the drums as they did on the rearend housing.. thats why it didnt last..
