You can do a very presentable job of painting your engine without going to show car standards. Clean off all the grease and dirt, clean off rust with a wire brush then paint 2 coats with a brush.

It is best to remove accessories like coil, distributor, air filter, etc if possible. They usually need to be painted a different color (black) anyway. These can be painted with black spray bombs.

As I said this will not be a 100 point restoration or show car job, but it will keep off rust and preserve the parts while keeping your engine compartment spiffy.
