impression was that one has to use paint specially formulated for high
temperature steel.

Acrylic enamel works fine on engines.  I had a quart  mixed at the local
auto paint store to match a sample from a Moss spray can.  Cost me $16
and lasted several years and through several engine paintings (not all my
own).  I guess that comes to about  $3 for each engine painted.  Just had
another quart mixed up recently, cost $20 this time.
