When you say "normal spray paint cans", I expect that you are meaning the Thai brand acrylic based spray can paint (KOBE) it's a paint brand in most hardware shops if not all of them, and priced very reasonably at 5000reil per can.
I used the product on my motorcycle engine about a year ago, and still looking well.

Any locations/stores where Samurai paint is available in PP?

I suspect you may be more clued up on this than I am, but I’ve got concerns about using regular acrylic spray paint, your engine will be aluminum and therefore I’m assuming the paint is mostly cosmetic, and not required to provide any anti corrosion protection, so it does not require a level of build up that may result in blistering and/or flaking.
What I will be painting is carbon steel and rusting would be very undesirable, I need to paint before permanent installation, and paint failure would become a real issue.
I’ve bought and used high temperature resistant paint, made specifically for engines, both spray can and brush applied, for similar applications in the UK and Europe, and am hoping it is available somewhere in the capital?

Chad I don't really know what you are getting at here, quote - "your engine will be aluminum and therefore I’m assuming the paint is mostly cosmetic, and not required to provide any anti corrosion protection, so it does not require a level of build up that may result in blistering and/or flaking".
Aluminium will suffer from corrosion over time, an engine will also suffer from the the build up of temperature, and here it is most variable in its workings, add other materials, such being fuel and oil, also the exposure to the weather and elements, then there is possible cause for blistering and/or flaking.
Very wisely Bitte_Kein_Lexus mentioned the key factor of preparation, the level of work and knowledge will suffice with a good overall result.
Me, all I can say, is I have only been a daily spray painter for most of my working life.
