Super glue for assembly. Prime then paint with paint of your choice.

You must use primer before painting metal.  Once primed, you can paint with anything you normally do.  Good primers to use on metal include Krylon, Duplicolor or any primer intended for full sized car painting.

For gluing use either CA or epoxy.
