I'd think about sticking with the green since the motor is already that color. I'd think getting it red will be a PITA. Strip, and repaint. If you just paint over it then have a chip or the red flakes off a bit, you'll have bright green dots with red - Christmas ruined that color combo.
Besides, I really dig that color of green. One of my favorites.
