Default Painting a mower deck

My son has been refurbishing a very abused Victa zero-turn mower, as a school project.
He is at the stage where he is ready to paint it.
What are peoples recommendations for ;
A product
B application method?

Cheers
Steve

For durability I like.

A Wattyl Killrust Epoxy gloss enamel.
B brush paintable or colour match rattle cans

Beauty of it is ,it can be applied with no primer.

If you have any tractor supply places anywhere near by, they'll usually stock many different colours like Caterpillar Yellow, John Deere Green, Detroit diesel Alpine green, IH red etc. My local Mitre10 also stock some colour range tins.
Similar to Rustoleum paints.
