Won't any high temperature paint work? Any auto supply store should have it in several colours. It's not hugely expensive.

For the outside (which is what I assume you mean) people have even get away with house hold gloss. If you think about it the block can't get much above 100C as it's got cooling water in it!

Having said this you might need higher temperature paint if you have no heat shielding from say you down pipes particularly if they near to the block etc...

Depends what you have to hand..
