I used this stuff

Not sure how good it is yet as the car isn't back on the road, but it looks good at least, and seems to give a good covering

Agricultural Machinery/Tractor black paint is about the best you can get.

Not expensive either. 1 litre costs about £25 and will cover a lot of parts.

If you're painting cast components it's a good idea to warm them up a bit before using the etch primer (especially in cold/damp weather)This gives a longer lasting finish.

I have sandblasted then powder coat .

Alternatively, I found the POR 15 paint to be extremely strong. Googled it and seems Frost carries it. Expensive but worth every penny.
