id go for a high temp paint personally, wouldnt want to go to all that effort to have it all peel off when it gets a bit hot... and no, i definitely wouldn't paint the carbs...

Adams right any paint should do ok for inlet as it doesnt get as hot as exhaust manifold

I found most high temp paint to be very thin and scratch easy tbh
