i've seen a chromed engine bay before, and like all chrome under the hood, you really have to stay on top of it (polish) to keep it clean.

any other paint job would be just as difficult, IMHO, to keep clean as chrome, especially a flame job or something similar. it would just take too much time to clean, even if you keep up on it. imagine being obligated to clean your engine bay once a week, and it took two or three hours...

chrome or some other fancy dressing under the hood should be reserved for show-only-cars, the ones that never see the road.

paint it black.
