I used Krylon Semi-Flat Black. Looks great but, as noted, will eventually scratch. I'm usually sober enough to get the key in the hole first try but my wife's left hand ring scratches the paint when she opens the driver's side door.

Powder coating would probably be best but it only takes a couple of minutes with some masking tape & the Krylon and I'm willing to redo it every year or two.
