Especially for outside metal, always use an oil paint.
Rustoleum is one of the cheapest but also about the best.
How often does that happen?
In the past, I repainted an old car and an old work van
with Rustoleum high gloss. Paint jobs lasted as long as I
kept the vehicles. No peeling at all. It's good stuff.
Most important though is to prep it right. Sand all, dust it
off with a dry brush and *clean it well* using a damp rag,
often rinsing to remove all dirt and dust.
Same applies for any outside painting. Prep is most important.
If anyone ever hires a painter for outside - if they show
up and just start painting without cleaning, fire them
immediately. They know better.
