RustOleum paint for metal would be my best recommendation. Paint first and touch up after installation.
A good quality paint like Rustoleum would work if you do the individual squares first so that you completely cover all sides.
I would prime them with auto primer from Rustoleum, then paint with a Rustoleum color of your choice.
Use an oil based primer like Rustoleum. Then paint color of choice with acrylic paint and finally a good sealer.
