Default Ethanol resistant spray can coating?

I made some fuel sender plates for a custom hanger I made for my tank. But I made them out of bare steel and am going to be running e85.
I'm looking for a spray on paint/coating that will protect the steel plates from corroding with the ethanol.
I am looking into powder coating or zinc plating, but also maybe something I can do quicker or easier or cheaper.

They make a spray paint called 2k. It has an activator button on the bottom of the can, once activated your spray it like a regular can. Since it is a 2 part paint with hardener it's as durable as an oem paint job, unlike regular acrylic enamel paint where gas eats through it. I think Eastwood paints are some of the cheaper 2k paints online.
