1) You are very unlikely to ever see two 928 intake manifolds that are the same color. The heat and oil of the engine compartment changes the colors.
2) The original color (at least on the new replacement manifolds that I have seen) strikes me as being rather ugly. It looks like hardware store aluminum paint.

Given these two opinions, you can see why my suggestion is that you look at new cars until you find a finish that you like, buy that color touch-up paint, and have at it.

My favorite at the moment is a very fine metallic silver with just a hint of gold, as seen on new Toyotas.
