Best paint

Have the frame of a roller I want to paint up. Normally would use hammerite as not much need for primer but it can be a bit pricey. Anyone have any other recommendations?

Hammerite is a hard paint and chips easily.

I'd use whatever sells well at the local co-op, Lowe Rust is cow ****e proof and can be had in black red and green.

If you want a specific colour, get a motor factor to mix you some tractor enamel. You'll need to prime bare metal first.
