go to your local paint supply store and pick up a qt of Imrom jet black and the high gloss hardener..make sure you sand it real good with 320 or 400 grit paper and use self etching primer first then hose on the imron ..

Any auto paint house. Be prepared to pay through the nose for it.

I agree that prep is the most important part, but personally, the Mercury Phantom Black paint is excellent, as long as you lay it on in thin coats...........

But it tends to be a little pourous and REALLY needs a good primer under it.
Merc tends to NOT prime their parts, at least not in the time periods I'm familiar with.
Just think of the many questions we've seen right here about oil pans rusting and leaking.
