I painted my new manifold red, like the motor & intake. After driving twice I saw it smoking the paint is burning off. I used 500 degree motor paint. Is there a paint that would not burn off?

The block is water cooled, so it doesn't get nearly as hot as the exhaust. Most people use calyx or stove black for exhaust manifolds. If you want it colored, something like the VHT exhaust paint is your best bet:
On vehicles that where I've painted the exhaust manifolds, Bill Hirsch Manifold paint has served me well...it stays looking good for years and can be brushed on!
