What paint did you use on your engine?

What paint did you guys use for a glossy paint job on your engine that will last and not dull out immediately after the engine is broke in?

Did you use a simple high temp paint and then clear out of a spray can?
Did you use some base/clear that is also for automotive body finish?

The ford red ages to a nice Chevy orange.

I used por15 engine enamel. It looks real sharp now. I am hoping to run my engine in the next couple weeks. See how it holds up then. Hopefully we'll.
