Yes.

Some people on here recommend using oil-based paint though.

On my coctail I used a standard flat black Behr from Home Depot.  It turned out real nice.  Just use primer first!

use Hammerite - the most durable stuff going, gives the cab a great textured finish  - very authentic

for the best black, use rustoleum satin black. It's oil based but gives a perfectly black satin finish that you just can't match with a latex. For any other color I use latex paint though.
