Any suggestions on the right kind of paint that will stick and not flake off and if it is worth making it black instead of leaving it as bare aluminum?

I would use a spray can of flat black high temperature barbecue grill 
paint.  Available most everywhere and certainly in your local Ace, 
Lowe's, True Value, or Home Depot.
