Based on the pics of the engine bay, I would say you could go for Gold as an accent color. Not a super bright gold, but a nice darker (but flaky) gold. It will offset the GM of the intakes.
Something like this, but possibly darker:  Get a set of the Gold Dress up bolts Get your engine cover's silver area Painted in the gold. (It will resist the heat because it will just be ambient air, it won't be directly near hot parts. Your strut bar is a toss up... I'd say if you get the main front bar of it PC'd Matte black, and then the bars headed towards the rear in the Gold, it might look good... Or all matte black. Your theme could be a Matte Black and GM with the Darker Gold as your accent color. It will bring the 'yellow' of the car into the engine bay without being a yellow overload. Just my

as long as the part you paint arent the block or anything directly dealing with tremendous heat you should be alright... if your thinking of painting ur engine cover that would hold up well... i shot mine with spray paint and it lasted a year with no problems... i color matched it though to SR my color of my z....
