I was thinking of formula white( the same color as my car), but that would turn black sooner or later

silver, polished, or mazda Blue. Lighter colours will help you see weeping, seeping, or leaking of oil and other fluids if/when there's a problem.

You know that you could just get some of those Neon underbody lights and attach them to the side of your motors. Then you wouldn't need to paint them, just change the color of the bulbs.

Both engines are powdercoated. The teal one is much brighter, couldn't find a better pic.
