Engine Paint q

If it is still coated with a "layer" of rust you can do what I did 
gradually with my coupe - spray it with that stuff that turns rust to a 
hard black coating.  Some will flake off, just do it over and over 
again.  Eventually you get a "nice" black painted block.

If it's been blasted and is clean metal, follow all the other suggestions.

One note, the mars red you suggest using is pretty much the same as 
yvehC orange, which ought to be a readily available color.  And a good 
reason to use black or white!
