I used the same acrylic enamel on my tractor and engine. 2 medium coats on the block & 3 coats on the tins for the engine. The only place that the paint turned color on me was near the exhaust port, after I worked the engine hard. I think that even engine paint would eventually turn color in that area though.

I use Rustoleum High Temp. paint on all exhaust parts. 1 quart has lasted 2 years and I paint the woodstove with it. Never have had any problems with it other than it splatters alot! Dont brush it on near anything already pretty!!!

I see that some paint the cylinder fins, but I prefer to not insulate them and let em breathe. But for the block and tins I have used Rustoleum Regal Red with no problem.
