"Hope its not too hard to find a high temp match."

It does not have to be high temp paint for a water cooled car engine.

My 56 Packard V8 was painted some 10 years and 25K+ miles ago with Ford RM acylic enamel body paint. NO PRIMER. Paint directly onto VERY CLEAN engine. USed DuPont acylic enamel regular auto body paint on a few other misc water cooled engines.

There is NO paint (hi temp or otherwise) that will not burn off of the exhaust manifold. Or i sure can't find any.
