Etch prime first with something like PPG Universel (acid based) & then paint with your chosen paint. For durability I'd spray it with a good quality 2k. I tend to spray engines without the thinners added as it has a higher build & fills in a lot of the small casting indents.... hth
Would Epoxy make sence?
