It's up to you man, but I think it's kind of retarded.

Unless you're constantly going to meets/popping your hood it's pretty useless.

What would I paint it?

Red?

Unless I was doing it myself, wouldn't pay someone to do this.

Lots of other ways to dress up the engine bay without being drastic with such a large piece to be color changed.

Polished pieces, strut brace ............ think performance aesthetics!
