Engine room walls

I want to paint the engine room walls while I wait for my new engine, I'm going to use bilge kote on the fibreglass but was looking for recommendation on what to use on the walls?

They currently painted wood which is patchy (even more so after the scrubbing I have given them) so will need to prime before I paint. Looking for something that's going to be long lasting and easy to clean when I have the inevitable oil/coolant explosion.

Re: Engine room walls

Bilge Kote is great stuff, I would recommend it for the walls as well. We add some tint to the white to make it either grayish white or blueish white. We found that the plain white will yellow over time, something inherent with enamels from what I researched. The tint seems to prevent that and it looks nicer to us. You could do a white or blueish white(or whatever color you want, just got to a hardware store and ask for universal colorance) on the walls and a grayish white on the bilges to hide any uglys.
