Rustoleum Professional works good, just make sure to use primer first.

A lot of people use BBQ Grill paint.

I just used some Black Rustoleum spray can from Vatozone without primer and it came out great.

Use Radiator Paint, it still allows heat to transfer more affectively than normal paint.

Austin's not bad. It's probably the most Bay Area-ish part of Texas.
