External Metal Barrier Paint Recommendations

Options
We have a large external metal barrier in our garden used to hold back the hill behind our house (as one of our courtyard walls.
It was covered in wood cladding that we have removed to attach a staircase to the other half of our garden.
Any recommendations for appropriate metal paints? We are talking about a large area and would need 24 tins of the standard 750ml hammerite paint to cover it (other paints are available).

May you find your sister soon Helli.
Sleep well.

    You can get Hammerite in 2.5l tins at Scrwefix. Might be worth speaking to the Hammerite or a similar paint supplier to see if they do larger tins? It's not going to be cheap either way as you will have already worked out.
