I just used Krylon Rust Tough. I don't own a compressor, so I don't have many options.

Seems to be holding up pretty well. I gave it three coats.

Thanks, DC. Anyone else? Specialty paints from Eastwood, off-the-shelf for spray gun?

I go to Caterpillar and get their p/n 4C-4183 black satin polyurea paint (about $25 a gallon). It's really tough, easy to shoot, hides small imperfections, and looks great! Plus, if you get in a pinch, you can brush it if you have to. :2cents:
