I'm just using a thickened epoxy mixed with graphite powder to blacken it.
You would be better off adding west system 404 high density filler ,It will work as a better bonding agent for you...You're going to fill the seems with polysulfide which is black anyways ,so you're not going to see any of the epoxy...

I am using 404 to thicken the epoxy. The graphite will provide the color. Not using caulk in the seams.

Been working on the engine for this project.
Here's some pics of some painting I've been tackling in preparation of assembly. Using epoxy primer and ppg concept through an hvlp gun:

Update for anyone who's following.

The bravo drive is at mr. Gadgets place getting blueprinted and a steel tower machined in. I drove it up to his place a couple weeks back. Should be ready sometime in the next month or so.

Also, just about done with the engine assembly. We put the oil pan and heads on last Friday. We are doing a few minor mods to the intake and I just ordered the final fasteners, oil filters and spark plugs. Getting close.

Engine pics:
