I use either Rustoleum or Plasti-kote's satin black.

I have some of the newer stuff too, just have not used it yet.
The old stuff, you had to paint it all at once, because recoating would cause it to lift. But is very durable paint.

I've been using the Extreme stuff lately while building the Torana.. I've recoated a couple of things and it's stuck down hard. (..lower rear control arms, upper and lower fronts, etc..) it takes longer to cure then the 'normal' chassis black, but wow does it go off hard and durable! 
I tried it when it came out since I was ordering some cans of the normal stuff and thought would try one of the super-duper ones, being on sale at the time
I painted a diff housing with the Extreme, and had forgot to weld a tab on for the rear brake line mount and had to basically grind the paint to get it off in a spot to weld...it really stays down.

Just painted my diff this past weekend with Rustoleum Hard Hat industrial enamel. Came out really nice and is super tough to boot.
