I've got a number of things with chasis that have rusted and I'm wonder what people typically paint them with? They're things like power supply racks, Nintendo monitor chasis etc, stuff that's not originally painted but just bare gray metal.
 
I believe most of that stuff was plated. If it had been bare metal, flash rust would have formed immediately.

There are plenty of metal/plating look paints out there, for automotive restoration, but most look like crap. Chrome looks like silver paint, etc...

Not that you'll necessarily want to buy from here, but this might give you an idea of what's out there. Some can be found in automotive stores or big box stores:
