Semi gloss black for engine compartment?

I'm working on cleaning up my underhood appearance right now. I only intended on cleaning up the wiring and such, but I also needed to replace the heater core and it struck me as since it's out this would be the time to paint. The truck is dark blue metallic but still wears the original light blue color on the firewall but it's flaky and has overspray. To boot someones undercoat/boxlinered the underside of the hood and inside the fenders.
I'm not completely sold on the black yet, I feel body color always looks best. But it does seem to make the best of the whole situation. Thoughts? Or even better, pics?
