Default Engine bay color

Ok I have motor out of my 92. I cleaned an primed the whole engine bay. I want tO paint engine bay flat or gloss black. The car is dark green and not sure of it will look good. I no thought with the black it will look much cleaner.

What should I do. Spray black or spray it to match car?

I always liked the engine bay to match the car. Brightens up under the hood unless the car is black of course.

The car is fully caged and braced and one aluminum seat ,fuel cell , parachute everything. I don't think someone will pay less just bc engine bay is black.
