I'm sure someone will have a good reccomendation for spraying with a gun. Personally I just used some ford blue paint that you get in spray can at Autozone. Worked out well except in a few spots where i missed cleaning a bit but they aren't that noticeable.

Buy "Duron" and have them mix the colour you want.

It really doesn't have to be high temp. I painted mine 3 years ago on my daily driver with yellow automotive paint and it still looks good. I am running aluminum heads though. I think as long as the prep work is good it will stay.
