Semigloss Black looks good. I let my machinist talk me into it and I am not disappointed.

Por-15 Gloss Black[:@].

And yes you can find an oil leak(if you have one) with your engine painted Black.

I used red to be exact I used duplicolor ford red as a base but is looked kind of orange so then on top of that I had some cherry red acrylic enamel ppg single stage I mixed up from a 68 cougar I painted and sprayed it with that...man it came out great but I also have red interior so I had a theme to work with...I f I were you the first thing that came to mind would be a glossy black and use a sealer on top to retain it's look longer that's what I did and it'll clean off easier
