I like the VHT Engine paint available at Auto Zone and I believe Wal Mart. Durable and not messed up by gas and oil. It does have a "kinda" glossy finish if that is an issue.
I used it on my 52 F1 engine (red) and sprayed the entire frame with it (black).
It lasted 12 years with only minor touch ups. As an added tip instead of masking small bolt heads, etc. that you don't want painted use pieces of aluminum foil wrapped around them. Easier to both apply and remove. Chap
