Spray paint intended for engines is what you want. Duplicolor, VHT, and Krylon just to name a few. But spray spray paints can't beat a catalyzed paint as far as durability.

Preparation and cleanliness are the key to success. The more time and effort you spend on it the better (and more durable) the end product will be.
