I suggest degreasing the metal surface with a solvent that will not leave any residue. Perhaps a cotton bud? Of course you need to be careful that none of this solvent or paint ends up where it shouldn't. The recess is likely the biggest factor. Anything on the flat mount will wear at some point and a build up of paint would do so more quickly.
