I hit the oil pan and lower today with simple green. Looks good. I just want to make sure the paint sticks good.

Re: engine paint.

for my engine and exhaust manifolds I used several coats of hi-temp spray paint. I didn't bother with primer but I did clean the engine and bay 1st using lots of simple green and a citric degreasing solution.
I ended up powdercoating the pully assembly in gloss black.

nothin that fancy:
