Default Paint choices

I am wanting to improve the overall look of my engine bay by painting certain parts.

What type of paint for things like the Timing belt cover, Turbo Heat sheild, Radiator, Intake Penlum and other removable parts? Also wanting to remove brackets, and other metal/plastic parts holding things in place to brighten them up or whatnot.

Does the heat coat paints w/ cermaic actually help bring down engine bay temps?

What type of temperature rating does the paint need on each of these parts?

Any brand names out there that are worth the extra $$? I want to do this once and do it right so not worried about the price of any of it.

Any general tips or rules of thumb? This will be my first time painting anything like this so i will be testing it out on random scraps 1st.

Trying to stick to a blue/black/ and metal look throughout the engine bay. Anyone know the paint that is the closest to Hose Techniques Vacumm lines, i do not want a buncha diff shades of blue, just one
