I used VHT black wrinkle paint. It's a little hard to find but its been around since the 70's. I used it on all of the top end and engine rebuilds that we did. In tests,
the wrinkle finish provided slightly better cooling than a highly polished aluminum
finish. So it actually helps dissipate some of the heat. The trick to getting a uniform wrinkle finish, is to heat the thoroughly cleaned cylinder to about 100-120
degrees and then spray a heavy coat just one time, and she'll turn out real even.
Plus its very durable too, and easy to touch up if needed.
