engine block paint

what should i use ,

 

i want to do the block white and it needs to be glossy

[evil knievel]

Enamel paint. I use halfords very high temperature paint, it sprays on matte and then it hardens when you heat up the engine.

Plastikote we have found to be a bit more hard wearing than the hammerite smooth!!! Has a nice deep look to it aswell, but WHITE!!! Thats gunna be a pain in the butt to keep clean!!!
