Take some steel wool and strip the shitty old park off. Degrease with Break cleaner or acetone. Buy a can of this: http://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-248903-Automotive-12-Ounce-Degree/dp/B003CT4AKC and spray all the metal with it. Bake it in the oven according to the instructions (but do the 3rd round of baking @ 450 not 600+) (NOTE: DO NO BAKE THE TRIGGER GROUP/BOLT).
(the wood was done with pine tar and leather dye)
The total cost for re-doing the metal was 10-12$ and it is at least as durable if not more durable than something like duracote.
If you want it black I suggest high temp paint
A can of black Grill Paint will tolerate the heat and cover that mark.

You're on the right track. The single barrel UDS upright is really only 4 main parts. You have your drum, a fire basket, grate, and lid. I'm at work otherwise I would take pics of mine and walk you through it. Might be able to still do that later but here are a couple things to look at to get you started. link cross section
I have a heat deflector on my charcoal basket as well. It was cheaper to just make a clover shape deflector out of 3 pizza pans with a bolt through the edge. All about getting creative.
Here's a write up of how I made mine:
Now I don't move mine far so I never installed the castors that I was planning on using. I had the basic design in my head of using angle iron and basically making a permanent hand truck that attaches to the side of the drum and all you had to do to move it was tilt the drum onto the wheels and you're off.
This is a pretty rough write up and I apologize for the lack of pics. If I can find my build pics, I'll post them here. Let me know if you have any questions or if I can help!
Yeah, I thought about that too after I posted my reply. Another possible option would be some flat black automotive exhaust system paint.
Seconded (thirded?). I bought a can of high heat paint off amazon for a rebuild that I ended up letting a buddy use on his Sporty's pipes. disassemble the whole shebang and tape over the ends, paint it on a nice day, let it totally dry. This stuff goes on almost like primer so it didn't need much prep work either.

To add to this suggestion, this paint works well:

That sucks. Get some good paint to repair it and it shouldn't happen again.
