Engine Bay color help

I like the way Mopar painted the engine compartment. To me it's brighter and cleaner looking. I would think if this is any sort of restoration, you'd want to go that route.

My alternate has always been a light to medium gloss gray, as I can see leaks, or dirt. Flat paint gets looking dirty from oil, coolant and dust;at least to my eye.

Someone said GM painted their engine compartments flat black, but on my old Chevy, it is only the inner fenders and radiator frame (more a satin rather than flat), which are separate parts, unlike the unibody. The firewall, fenders, and hood are body color.

But on the other hand it's your car so you can do just as you like.
My '66 Dart is white, and the former owner painted the engine compartment white over the original paint, but he did it with a brush, with what looks like house paint...it has a hint of yellow, and is dead flat. He might have done it to clean up the compartment, from battery and brake fluid leaks, but anywhere it gets grease or oil it stains big time. I have the engine out now, and pressure washed the compartment, and plan on repainting it with a gloss. Probably the original white in an enamel...maybe gray.
