paint the engine bay?

[Swifty1638]

I am in the process of taking everything off the engine (sold the mani/nos) and re-coating hte exhaust mani, so that turbo intake, pipes, radiator (gotta fix a fitting-rubbing on rubber boot on top of trans) and all that will be left is engine, trans, and wires. I will blanket the motor setup, and such but how is everyone spray painting their engine bay? spray simple green on a rag and wipe down or what? then sand, primer, base, clear?
