Why not emulsion for the engine?
There's a good precedent that in the late 30s some world speed record aircraft used evaporative cooling so the water in the emulsion could just boil off and help cool the engine.
OK there's a downside or two, not least you'd have to keep on painting it but people have gone with worse ideas.

Also the Me209 I think, the record breaking version not the subsequent attempt at a 109 succcessor.
