You really do not need to paint it at all but if you prefer to there is a great product called "Glyptol". It is a heavy red insulating paint that is used to insulate the windings in electric motors. You can get it at any shop that rebuilds electric motors or Eastwood sells it. It sticks to castings well and is easy to clean. It is used by engine rebuilders mainly inside the engine to make it easier to clean, seal any porous castings, and promote faster drain-back. Try to clean the surface as well as you can before you paint. If you replace the seals and keep the coolant system tight you won't have any problem in there.
