Don

I've use Hammerite smooth in the past  , it seems pretty flexible , the key to it is to use a etching primer first so the paint sticks . You can get it in Master stores  , same as Bunnings but not a good . Only issue is not to many colours to chose from .

etch primer from car stores maybe better - I have had great success with Supercheap stuff or VHT

A powder coater will blast & coat them for mot much more (if any) than you'll spend on primer & paint. The one I use has a blue which is a good match for Works Performance springs.
