Don't have any pics but I've had good results with VHT and Duplicolor engine paint. I used it on an old Springfield single barrel 16 gauge and a Stevens pump 12 gauge.

Note: Unless a paint requires baking for the polymers to cross-link and cure, baking only reduces cure time. Baking a coating that does not require baking does nothing to enhance the durability.

Cerakote combination of Socom blue and graphite black.. KKM barrel and E2 internals parts...

I like Alumahyde II quite a bit but you have to have the patience to let it sit for a couple of weeks.. It's the best easy DIY coating... works quite well on rifle stocks too.

I traded into this a few years ago from another member. I bonded and sanded the stock. A base coat of black primer then 2 coats of Rustoleum olive green. I used 400 grit Emory cloth on the metal parts with a little oil to remove the rust. Then high temp black spray paint.

First is a 10/22 with the factory zytel stock with Krylon camo colors rattle can paint job:

Second is a 10/22 with a Hogue nylon stock done with Krylon rattle can (whatever was on the shelf and stencil cut from blue painters tape:

Both have held up remarkably well over the years. CLP and Hoppes hasn't hurt the finish and there's only minor nicks and scuffs from normal use that are barely visible unless you're looking close.
