Have it sandblasted and then use the proper radiator paint or have it powder
coated.
Mind you after that you'll probably find it cheaper to buy a new one.

I used Dulux gloss.

I'm surprised it did not smell a lot. I found that normal paint smells
terribly anywhere near heaters in the past. as for sandblasting, whell, I'd
also imagine it might nt survive that. maybe I will just get some textured
paint and have a go, after all if it does not work then I'll just buy a new
one. I just hate throwing away otherwise servicable kit.

I painted it when taking it out of service after the winter, so the
paint had several months to dry naturally before being heated. It did
smell a bit for a couple of days when it was first used again, but not
significantly and it soon went.
