I would not recommend this for those who don't know how to paint something that was oil immersed.
I would NOT recommend painting the inside of the oil pan especially.
If the paint on the inside of the oil pan happens to flake off (and most likely it will), I shudder that thought of all that paint flakes in the oiling system!
Most people don't know that most metals are porous.
Oil can actually soak into most metals - i.e. steel and aluminum.
This is why the oil pan is a ROYAL PITA to seal.
Most RTVs and most sealants cannot seal against metal that has oil in it.
