Spray cans of paint work good.......that is what I use.

I used just a Gliddens latex semi gloss finish and a 3/8 nap roller, did 3 quick coats all within about a hour, looks great.

I just used rustoleium in the quart can, cheap and fast, you do have to let it dry longer but it hasn't chipped or flaked. I used a cheap small "nap" roller, one of those 4 inch jobs. you will need two coats! I put one and I have to add another
