Give it a couple of days to dry, and the can should be lined for life. Basically you do the same thing for a fuel tank, except yours is a lot cleaner than an old fuel tank.

The paint can be had in black, silver, or white.
Thanks for the suggestions. I do have a tin a Waxoyl in the shop, so that will be my first attempt in the morning. We can get POR-15 over here, so that may be a follow-up option. Not that I'm intending to drink out of the can though!

Cheers,
Owen.
