Johnny,
What are you planning to paint?
I wouldn't paint the cylinder as paint on that can hinder the cooling process.

I used the VHT high temp silver. As for the cylinders, most if not all motorcycles come with the engine parts painted including the cylinders so there shouldnt be a problem. mine are painted and Ive never had a problem.

I would go to a Honda motorcycle shop and see what they have to offer. I think even back when I worked at Ricks Honda in San Jose engine paint was like $8.oo a can. If you are not doing the head or cyls you might not need high temp.
I was told by a motorcycle racer that flat black paint actually helps an engine cool, seemed crazy at the time. There's actually paint you put on the inside of the cases that keeps the oil cleaner. I was told by the same guy (he's a senior shop tech at Honda) that the oil washing over the aluminum makes it dirty faster.

    Disagree, Hirsch Automotive has a paint I like to use on all exterior parts Empt-16A, they call it Space Age Bright Aluminum.  An 1800 degree formula withstanding all weather conditions.  It does not fully cure until the engine heats up.  I have one engine that is 10 years since painting and it still looks fresh.    I have noticed no over heating.  See a picture of one in the ANZhonda600owners group site, the last page photo album.
