Prevo....I say do the engine bay with gloss black (POR 15). It's easy to just hose off and it stays glossy without much care. You won't have any rust problems like you will with regular paint...I'm starting to get some spots in my engine bay already.

I know you want to black out your engine but that's the best place to add a little color, not much, just a little. I'd black out your block and heads. Powdercoat your valve covers red to match the car and maybe powdercoat your intake an almost chrome color like mine? Depending on your preference you could also get a red MSD cap and maybe wires. Keep it simple, yet tasteful.
