I did alot of research when I got ready to paint my 425. I own a bodyshop, so I can relate to your uncertainty when it comes to painting something a little out of the ordinary. I know it goes against everything you know about painting cars, but the best way to paint that engine is with NO primer. Clean the hell out of it & put the least amount of paint you can while achieving coverage. (2 wet coats worked fine for me) Duplicolor is what I used also. I use Sherwin in my shop & I know they make great product. If you are still not happy with the shine after the color is on, put a wet coat of the engine clearcoat. When it comes to painting an engine, less is better. Good luck.
