Blimey! You don't hang about!

Gutter-off job? If so, extra kudos.

What paint did you end up using? How did it go?

Too late, pal...

It's never to late. 
In a couple of years they may need painting again, then again etc.

gutters off and returned, even slightly differently to make it look neater 

overall went well, used the paint you suggested. all looks great although iv'e discovered this morning that the end cap on one end of the gutter is still dripping so looks like it needs a new seal.
thank you.

i did, but its quite an elaborate style, not just square on. £30 and a bit of work and we're happy with the result. saved hundreds.

A decent paint job will last at least 10 years.  Likely much longer.
