One of the better choices, although expensive, is GlassKote. That is an epoxy paint that is amazingly durable under all conditions and is easy to apply. You can either brush it on or spray it if you know the necessary info to spray.
I plan on using a gas engine. I have been thinking of Rustolium or maybe Krylon.
