Ceramic Header paint. Can i paint my engine with it?

Hey guys, I was wondering, i have seen several shots of TPI engines in various colors, one of which, was a shiny black TPI setup with bright red wires. i nearly nutted myself with glee.

What kind of paint could you use to give an engine a total paintjob, which would last, and look great? i figure there has to be something out there.

Any information is sweet, i totally have a suave idea for my baby. eventually anyway!

You can paint your engine any color you like,, you don't have to use a special paint. Urethane paint that you use on the body works just as well as engine paint. As long as you take care of your car (keeping things clean) it should stay looking nice for a long time.
Or just go to a parts store & get some VHT engine paint.
