I used spray paint for metals from Autozone. Works good but you have to be careful to not bend the mesh when reinstalling or the paint will chip off.

Don't need anything with rust protection?

As long as you scuff it up pretty good with a low grit sandpaper, it should hold up. Use some quality prime too, like PPG grade stuff.

The spray paint specified for metals does have rust prevention. You just have to browse through their shelves to find it. I got the semi-flat black Duplicolor can.
