Tough coating?

Hello All
I am doing some repair work and am trying to figure out what would be the best paint like product to use on chunk of aluminium and a chunk of galvanized material. It will see all the abuse of the running gear. I cannot powder coat it due to the temps needed and I do not want the look of rhino lining. I am looking for something that I can get a nice glossy color, and that will live through almost anything. I have even considered some marine epoxy paints, I just know very little about them.

Thoughts?

I don't have that much real estate to cover so cost is a consideration but not a massive factor.
