I have repainted a few radio chassis in my day. I have always used automobile engine enamel in spray cans, in either silver or grey color. This stuff dries very hard and is heat-resistant. It will also resist solvents, won't wipe off if you get tuner cleaner on it, etc. By the way, I use the same thing when repainting a power transformer, but black in that case.
