Spray paint that has a "fan" spray pattern. One that sprays the circle or dot is alot harder to get a full even coat. The fan spray pattern is sometimes called body panel paint. For spraying cars. Prime, then paint.

Don't even bother painting it dude, you should be looking at powder coating. Heaps of different colours and finishes and it's pretty much indestructable. It's surprisingly cheap as well.
