I just use hammerite, don't need high temp as it isn't an area exposed to excessive heat.

I used Chassis Black, which is an epoxy paint. Very good stuff. Powdercoating is better really but spraying's cheap and easy.

Yep, Hammerite or Plastikote will do the trick.

A little trick I learnt from a paint sprayer I know was to spray on the paint and then after a few mins give it a gentle blow over with a heat gun. It smooths the surface out lovely to a mirror finish.
