Request for paint spec recommendation for high temp/steam environment

We need to finish a carbon steel plate with a rust preventative coating which will be able to withstand up to 300F (dry) and 212F wet(occasional contact with steam). Finish lif should be 10 years minimum in an indoor environment. The finish needs to be aesthetic and should preferably be inexpensive and environmentally friendly. While air dry is preferable an oven bake is acceptable.

Please send recommendations.
