I went a different route. I wanted some contrast. It's Duplicolor "cast iron" engine enamel. Still tough as hell after 2 years.

67Camaro's 550 has something similar to what you're looking for.

Measure the thickness of the fins leading edges and get some pinstriping. Apply the pinstriping, paint, let cure, remove pinstriping.

Guess you could also cut strips of blue painters tape to cover the leading edges too.

Here is my engine I am currently assembling, the cases were silver, bought some engine enamel called low gloss black. Of course I have chrome and polished aluminum covers that will go on it.
