The engine bay should always be painted the same colour as the rest of the car. (Unless it's a POS chev)

Agree, engine bay same colour as outside of car, and then detail the engine bay with the co ours you chose for your trim.

Whit isn't impossible to maintain. The key things are to apply three of four heavy coats of wax before reassembly. And to have all protrustions and holes made before painting. And to have all engine bay accessories Polished, plated, or painted to avoid rust stains. Then so long as your engine isn't an oil weeping, blowby spewing turd it's not that hard to keep it looking good.
