I need some recommendations for paint, I have a fair bit of steel to paint including, grain hoppers, a bale trailer, some stanchions of a shed, some steel posts etc, I was going to go for 20 litre cans, there are a lot on ebay to choose from, priced from £33 to £80 for 20 litres, anyone know what I should be looking for?

Cheers

What finish do you require
Is it a all in one coat you require
Where it's a primer and top coat in one application.

Used a ford blue colour as above it has a satin finish to it
Also used a red oxide colour again finish was a satin with pretty good results too.
I can't remember the make but I will find out.

I use this for all our painting, except farm machinery;http://bedec.co.uk/BARN PAINT LEAFLET.pdf
I tend to paint trailers with oil based having done prep, primer & use a spray gun.
Barn stanchions, wriggly tin & anything else go-for-it!

In my experience the cheaper end didn't cover to well

I would aim for middle of the road price really
