Default Engine Paint

I want to repaint parts of my engine block (still in the car). I've done this before but it doesn't seem to last more than one summer before it starts to discolor and eventually peel. Couple of questions: What's a good high-temp engine paint (Chevy orange) that will last the heat of a big block?? Can you buy this type of paint to brush on?? If so, where?? I'd rather brush than spray.
