Default Engine paint recommendations

I'm not sure which category this belongs in so I'll start here. What engine paint is showing the most success for the light blue metallic? On a recent diesel engine project, I used Bill Hirsch products which I'm happy with so far but it hasn't been very long at all. They're out of the color I'm looking for, so what is next on the list of choices in the opinions of those here?

I'm thinking Eastwood at the moment. Attached is the color I'm interested in.

I actually have a can of that color for high heat from my parts house. I was going to spray my engine and one quick shot told me I had the wrong blue for my 72. I'd sell it.

I had very good results with Dupli-color.

I wipe down with acetone after masking, and go mist coats 2 passes, and then heavy last.

Has anyone used the POR15 system? I am refreshing my 66 GTO 389 now and am going to give it a go.
