Default painting my engine

when i paint my engine il rub it down with a wire brush n make sure its all clean
but whats the best paint to use?? cos i dont want it sarting to flake
ive heard hammerite is good?? or shall i use heat proof paint
also can i paint my starter motor n alternator n bits like that with the same paint or does it have to be special paint??

You Can get high temp engine enamel paint. Halfords do it in few diff colours its about 7pound for a tin.
