Default Engine paint

I am thinking about painting the edges of the fins on my engine just to give a different look, does anyone know where I could get paint NOT in a spray can that I could use for this?

I got some in a car accessory store, just look for heat resistant paint used for painting engines, usually comes in spray cans or tins to be brushed on.
