Good paint for metal railings?

[TigLad]

Hi, we are looking to paint our metal railings with a spray gun, (approx 30meters) what is the best paint for longevity?
The railings have all had 2 coats of red primer.
Thanks.

Be aware that the term "red primer" or even "red oxide primer" now means nothing other than the paint is coloured red. It used to refer to red lead oxide, the lead oxide being a corrosion inhibitor, but is now banned. Personally, I'm a big fan of zinc phosphate primers, zinc phosphate being a good inhibitor.
