I used single stage enamel with hardner; yes, this is automotive paint and it costs more than than the equipment stuff thats cheaper, but it's worthit. It will last forever and all colors are available. I got mine at NAPA and used less than a gallon. Total cost with hardner and thinner was under $200. Hope this helps.

I recommend that you read through the paint section fully to decide. You can go this way as Harpmanfrank suggests or you can go with rolled on rustoleum or tractor paint which will be significantly less, and some have gotten decent results with spray cans. There are brand suggestions for all of them. Others spray and still others use even more expensive automotive paints. Prep is the most important now matter what you choose. You have to decide what you want and the only way to do that in my opinion is read through the whole paint section and all the links.
