Ditto on the rattle cans, unless the transformers get hot, regular paint that matches is fine. If they get hot, something may be wrong....

Depending on color needed I use header paint from the auto store or charcoal 
grille paint for serious temperatures.

But for a restored receiver running at 115V or less Ive found box store 
rattle cans fine.
