Assuming that it's aluminium it'll need a thorough clean followed by an etch primer to get the paint to stick. Car bodyshop might be a good bet for professional advice (rather than me). Cover the stanchions / seals well to keep the bits out

A body shop will use 2K paint, which is uncommon for the DIYer...but available on eBay.

Not sure how much more durable it is, I find rattle can paint pretty soft.
