Not looked too hard, but I don't recall seeing > any on the shelves either. The local hardware near-monopoly's search engine doesn't grok "stove enamel", but a manual search finds a "high heat enamel" which is claimed to be durable to boot: https://www.bunnings.com.au/dulux-duramax-300g-high-heat-enamel-black-spray-paint_p1400735 There has to be something like it in the northern hemisphere. It's easier to whack on, but my money's on the epoxy two-pack. Here, down south, global warming seems to be moving our rainfall toward summer, as predicted. We've had 278 mm Dec to Feb.
