I just have the bare alum on the block and heads.. seems to clean up pretty easy then again I put in a new engine every year. lol
Personally I think paint is a PITA and is more likely to end up looking crappy. If I was going to do it I would clear powder the block but due to all the masking that would cost hundreds of dollars.
I say just go bare and keep up on the cleaning.. I just wash it down with soapy (DAWN) water every so often and blow it dry.
