Paint Color On Engine

hey fellas as you may or may not no i have my engine back cleaned and ready to reassemble and all the parts finally came in so now its just a matter of time before bandit is up and running again my question is on painting the block....do i just tape it off spray a heavy primer and then paint it the desired color? also i want the light blue my engine came in is there a certain store or place i can find out the name of the color and get it ? thanks

there should be some specific paints for engines.. otherwise it will melt. IMO. well home depot has hundreds of different colors for paints.. you can get the name of your color from there..

well i know that there is certain type of paint that you can just buy at like autozone, the engine spray paint but they only have like orange and black...and i have a pontiac engine ...so im not sure where i can find the paint at.

here is a link.. blue metalic..
