I've used brushing coach enamel on a whole car - one of the best paint jobs I've ever seen was on  Moggie 1000 van it was done in the 1970's by a local Painter & Decorators in maroon.
Amended from 100 to 1000 thanks Bryan.

In metal crankcase is a primer needed or straight to metal. I suppose it depends on the paint used.

Regarding primer, I spray painted the oil filter cover on my cb750 without primer and it chipped up pretty badly. I did it again, this time first with a light coat of epoxy primer and all is good so far.

I painted the frame of my xs650b with Rustoleum combicolour, it's again intended to be brushed on.  I found heating the tin and keeping the parts warm gave an excellent finish even in my dusty garage.
