Black is also harder to keep clean. Ever have a car with new black carpet? It shows everything. It's your decision, your car. FYI, I painted the engine bay black when I was 18 years old, on my 70 purple V code shaker cuda, I really did. Peeled the emission sticker off of it, said "void" on back of sticker, still have sticker today.....but not the cuda

if the engine was out,you sandblasted the under hood,sprayed the bed liner/textured paint/trunk splater paint it would be ok IMHO I have seen a few rice burners with the trunk spalter stuff under hood and inside on the dash/floor/door panels before cant say how long it looked good but on show day it looked real good you deff want something tuff that wont peel later on

i considered bedliner type material, and ended up using undercoating. not very happy with it - pretty dull and looks kinda strange. i shoulda went with bedliner like i thought. you can put a clear coat on it too if desired. Stacey David's Crazy Horse Bronco has bedliner (i believe) for the underhood area. i think it looks good, plus if you are going to do some actual work, there's no paint to worry about messing up. i'm 23, maybe it's a young guy thing
