Machinery Paint

What do people use for painting machinery?

 

If you go to any of the DIY stores there seem to be endless choices for painting wood and plaster, but not a lot for painting metal other than radiator paint or Hammerite.

 

Now, good as Hammerite is I do not want to paint my machinery with it if possible added to which they don’t do the colours I want – probably a grey and a cream but I am open to suggestion.  Colours from my past life at sea intrude on my thoughts!

 

So, what do I use and where can I get it (without spending a fortune!)?
