paint for my engine

Hi there,
Folks, who can explain me what paint is better for the engine? I will be painting it on weekends. Can I take any high temperature resistant paint? I have to repaint the engine to prevent it from the corrosion.
thanks

What’s wrong with my question? I opened wiki and read some tricks. Now I’m at the step 3 here http://www.wikihow.com/Prepare-a-Dir...e-for-Painting

I want to do it not only as corrosion prevention but I also want to have a cool visual effect. The engine paint I decided to go with is this https://www.mrosupply.com/paint-pain...k02111_krylon/

I hope I wont have problems in the process.

He might be talking about engine degreaser. I don't know why anyone would ask about painting an engine bay tbh.
