Metal paint

I looked at my windlass the other day and the motor cover was completely rusted. The gear box was in decent shape but the cover for the motor was bad. I took the gear box and motor off of the boat and am having the motor worked on. When I get it back it will need to be repainted. The parts sit in the anchor locker and as such are exposed to moisture (surprise on a boat) so I wanted to know what type of paint would cover the metal surfaces best. I was thinking an epoxy paint would be best does anyone have any reccomendations on brands and/or whether epoxy paint is the right way to go?
