If your thinking of spray paint it wont hold up.. Powder coat will work best or you can try something alot stronger called polyurethane paint.. I use valspar and you can buy a paint gun from harbor frieght for cheap. You have to mix it as its a 2 part paint but it works really well!! I painted my entire trx250r with it and rocks and what not dont chip it so bad.. It does come off after a while but lasts waaay longer than rattle can

Prep will make the difference.

A good prep job with good primar can make paint really stick.
