Randolph Epibond epoxy primer is a good start Paul. Wicks has this in stock
usually. It’s a high temperature coating.
What I have is W-2248 EP-420W
This is the etching primer white color. Many use this for tubing aircraft
frames like Wittman Tailwinds, piper cubs etc

Powder coating is much better and will never come off or scratch, but is
expensive. Fortunately for me my neighbor is friends with the guy that ow
