That's a long sentence... so you don't have enough money to paint the engine bay, but you're asking how to paint it? :screwy: Or you're painting your car and are asking about the engine bay?
Work on your grammar and come back.

What I think he meant to say was i have a car paint the engine bay without no money enough so should paint myself?
Hahaha...j/k :grinno:
I think he means he wants to paint his car but he doesn't have enough money to have the engine bay painted too so he's wondering if he should just paint the engine bay himself since it will be cheaper. As for that one, I dunno. Usually I would say it'd be arlight to just leave the engine bay the stock color since it's black but being that you might switch to silver, it might look funny. Normally I would say the only color the engine bay should be, if your car is a different color, is black, but since silver is a light color it might look kind of funny. Like my car for example is blue and the engine bay is black but I don't think it looks so funny.
Ok I hope I didn't confuse anyone anymore, but I'd just say save up until you have enough money to get the whole car painted. If you don't want to do that, I'd just skip on the engine bay if you're not an experienced painter. If you're not an experienced painter and you try it yourself, you could end up making it look just as funny or worse.

#1) dont paint your car.
#2) if you paint your car, paint the engine bay.
#3) dont change the color of your car.
#4) dont paint your car.
BOTTOM LINE: painting your car is a lot of hard work, painting the bay is even harder. changing the color is even harder. good luck.
