I just went to Schucks and picked up some red engine paint. Cost around 10 bucks. Worked great, just make sure the motor is oil free and dry.

Engine heat paint (400-600 degrees) at any automotive store.
Use outdrive paint available at any marine store for the outdrive preferably anti-fouling.

Prime any bare areas with zinc chromate primer prior to painting. This will ensure a good bond to the cast aluminum.​
