yeah i just wasent sure because ive heard paint on the cylinder causes less cooling
a bare head and cylinder will cool much better, but a thin layer of paint wont hurt anything.
My brother and I use rattle cans for everything, on my green plastics, it's rated at 500+ temp, if you have time, look up gizzy2014, he painted his frame orange with 1000-1200 temp spray paint. OR, go to Napa Auto Parts for engine paint, also O'reilys might have some, any hardware store might, but always try getting paint with the 1000+ temp range for anything around the engine. And try to bake it before you put it on and run it, other wise the paint may become too hot too fast and flake off.
If you use stripper wrap the job in aluminium cooking foil so that the solvents do no evaporate but bite into the paint.
