I used a single stage enamel (Dupont) and painted down to frame rail. The frame rail was sprayed black from a can. Just choose a good quality paint.
3 coats and walk away. It looks crowded in the e-bay but it wasn't that bad. Much of the taped off stuff can be moved around while painting to get the nooks and crannies. With the engine in now you can't see most of the painted areas anyway.
