OR Painting under the hood?

so im starting to do random fixes and mods. basically what i can afford or realistically do at this point. something i have wanted to do was make my engine bay colorful while at the same time leaving options for future endeavors. here is a pic of my test subject for the future paint jobs, not that the next thing im painting is the fan shroud. and my after market intake i put in the 17th and will some what match.

also i painted some rusty metal on the car. wiper arms and that metal that is on the outside of the door below the window.

yeah the blue is just under the hood. and that was the only blue i could find that wasn't dark blue. i painted every thing else black it all turned out great i think. but needs touch up and more coats. ill take that in to consideration if you were talking about just exclusively being used under the hood and not the window metal. cuz i sure didn't pain that blue lol
