   obviously your engine bay will already be wicked red, id say whilst you've got the engine out check for any signs of rust on the wheel arches coz ive got a hole on both my arches in the engine bay lol. and hammerite will be fine just give the engine a rub with sand paper or sumthin to give it a key for the paint to stick to.
