i painted mine red so i could see any oil and stuff if there was a problem. And red is my fav colour lol

Any paint will be OK with the heat. As if it gets hot enough to blister the paint, you have more important things to worry about!

Yup, That about covers it!

does it matter what colour to paint it.....you can't hardly see it with all the other junk stuck around it.

I have used hammerite smooth and hammered finish in the past and wouldn't recommend it on an engine. Hot antifreeze and oil both discolour it and also it chips and peels off. Have a look on the Frosts website as they have dedicated engine enamels on there. www.frost.co.uk
