I used a spray paint specified as gloss engine paint from the
autoparts store.  Painted it once, let it *cure*, then painted it
again.  That was four years ago, and it still is holding up just fine.
I like the *glossy* black, over the flat paints as oil cleans off
nicely.  Well, when it leaks... and when I clean it.  Neither of which
are very often.  :-)
