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!)?
