Dude, look at using something new called Smoothrite. Its just like hammerite but gives a smooth finish. There was a post on mig a few weeks back about a bloke who had stripped the enigne, painted the block, head, etc. Looked superb, all black, silver and gold. He'd done the same on his previous engine too. Try doing a search on mig for smoothrite or engine pictures.

Hammerite should burn off no. Painted my metal inlet manifold on the old 1.4 engine and that gets pretty hot (not as hot as the block mind) but the paint was ok.

I sprayed my radiator pipes in the kitchen with silver smoothrite about a year ago. When the pipes get hot the paint becomes tacky still. The pipes do get bloody hot though.
