I would really doubt it... The jobs I see most people use POR-15 is for the underside of the car as its not really pretty looking even applied nicely. I wouldn't think it would look good.

yeah i havent seen anyone use it on the engine bay. best way to go for that is base coat clear coat method. i sand blasted mine primed it and when i paint the car will base it and clear it. i plan on using por 15 on my floors and frame rails.

Coming from the second gen world I've seen it used on floor pans, frame rails, suspension components and even rear ends but never under the hood. I am sure someone out there has done it though try searching around on classic car sites (hotrodders.com etc).
