No problems with adherence? Did you use primer?

My nephew painted my underhood pieces and some of my interior pieces. Just used regular automotive paint with a good primer. If you want I can ask him specifically what brand of stuff he uses. I've not had any problems with the paint sticking to the parts and looking good for several years now. PM me if you want further information (just so I will remember to ask).

Here's the engine bay at least (no pics yet of the interior):
