I think several people have had good luck with Sherwin Williams Macropoxy. But like all paint surface prep is the name of the game.

A good self etching primer and anything white with some hardener...
Thereafter touch up with maybe Rustoleum..
Surface prep and then maintenence.
White is logical for seeing cracks and easy retouch..
A light grey is OK of you can get it anytime.
You done any stitch-welding on that thang?
You going to try and get some rear wheel travel?
