You need high temp spray paint (800C). Can use them for brake calipers too. Can buy them from Ace hardware shop

ACE hardware got sell engine paint spray.

I saw it before n planning to buy it, but then, the only thing tat was stopping me the only bright BLUE colour they offer. Its written there FORD BLUE.

Guess it wud look real chic on a shiny chromed Ford muscle V8 engine like we see in Overhaulin, . . . . .. but on a black n greasy mivec ?:hmmmm:
