Engine enamel & heat proof paint is sold in spray cans from your auto parts store for DIY.

1st you'll need to clean off the surfaces with degreaser and a wire brush, you may need some fine sandpaper somewhere between 240 grit and wet&dry if you rough it up too much.

Removing the parts and sending them away to a professional for "powder coating" is better than painting it yourself though, they bake it on in an oven and it bonds alot better, the surface is harder and less prone to smudge and grease stain, also you can have any colour you like with powder coating, they can mix whatever.
