I sprayed a a coat of primer on mine. Then I sprayed flat black in about 3 layers on mine. I have a pic I'll post up later if you want to see.

you will need to get all the oil and anything else off the surface, so depending on the condition of the housing you'll need to at least wash it w/ soapy water until all the oil is gone, wipe it down w/ a prep solvent like mineral spirits and clean cloths, spray the primer and then your choice of paint.
