idk what you should use, but in highschool i had a friend who painted the coils on his ranger red. he just used cheap stuff he had laying around and from driving it within like a week it cracked and started flaking off.

There's a (rubber type) additive that is put into automotive paint, to use on bumpers and other flexible spots. Call a auto paint dealer, and ask about it.
