Default gill bracket paint?

Getting ready to get some loose paint and rust off my gill bracket. Any suggestions on paint to get me through a season till I can deal with it more in depth? Was leaning towards some rustoleum...

For me, Rustoleum seems to be the best for short and long term stuff. Trailers (even galvanized), fiberglass (above and below waterline), etc.
Easy to blend the area's you are working. You can even get it textured, or hammered.

Whatever Marine grade metal paint you use will work, the most important part it to prime it was a etching primer to hold off the corrosion from the metal surface.
I painted my MID and LU with rustoleum but I can clearly see the corrosion is starting to bleed through..I did not prime ...
Here is a picture see the tilt arm ?
