Some of the "old car" guys paint their engines to match body color and a lot of times you can't find high temp paint to match (so I was told by a bodyman), but the biggest thing to ensure the paint sticks and lasts to any piece is to make sure the part is properly cleaned and primed prior to painting. I painted the calipers of a previous vehicle using non-high temp paint as suggested by this bodyman, and after 5 years of daily use, there was absolutely no problems with the paint after numerous heat cycles.
