    About any automotive painter should be able to paint your block. It's not that tough to do. If you want to take a stab at it yourself, I recommend you take a look through some of JBB's projects in JBB's World over on RLL (you know, where the real boaters are. )
    By the way, I've heard it's expensive to replace all of your lines with braided hose.

    SERIOUS ISSUES
    If you do it yourself (the paint) it will cost about $250-300 in materials. If you take it someplace look at 50-100 hr labor. assuming they have to prep and paint it that would be 4 hours = 200-400 more. You could have 500-700 in block paint.
    fittings and braided lines. average price of fittings $8.50 and $5.00 ft for hoses. You know your motor, just count how many places you need a fitting. keep in mind you have to by the hose end and the adapter. also if you have large water lines it will be more. My boat has aprox 10 adapters and fittings and uses about 20ft of hose. I spent $320.00.
