Recommended Block Paint?

[Ron at Bunch.org (Ron@Bunch.org)]

In the last 25-30 years I've used Rustoleum BBQ Black high temp paint 
(gloss) for Chevy engine blocks (ok, maybe they shouldn't be black) and 
headers, Corvair, Porsche and VW air cooled shrouds and various brackets.
If put onto a rough, no scale rust, and very well degreased surface, it is 
tough finish. I've never had it flake off of anything,  chip off of shrouds 
if I dropped a tool , or even took a pressure wash nozzle to it.
I prefer to bake it on the smaller parts, but the engine blocks won't fit 
most ovens. Slow drying for several days before handling will work with that.
Commonly availble (and easy to match) I believe it may also be available 
now in a flat finish for appropriate parts.
