    Honestly think about most engine bays you have seen, what is the norm, obviously people don't go pink, often. White would be awesome if you did it in something like en epoxy which wouldn't stain easy, but then you have flexibility issues.

    The engine itself doesn't get too hot and despite what most people will tell you basic quick dry enamel will withstand this heat for many years, the headers are a different story though.

    Aluminium is a good choice, are you using a spray gun or do you reley on pressure packs?
