rattle can paint recommendations please

[chambo34]

looking at respraying my old Raleigh Pioneer frame, the whole point of this bike has been to keep it running as cheaply as possible. Now I've spayed quite a bit bitd and if I still had access I'd two pack epoxy it...however I don't! Ive also used Smoothrite' at home and had good results but that was approx 10 years ago and whilst it's lasted really well I've been informed it's nowhere near as good today....so any recommendations, looking for hardwearing paint I can get if the shelf in the UK.

I use Spray.Bike and Montana - these are in themselves not particularly hardwearing, but are easy to apply and use and give good results.

For hardwearingness excellent prep and priming is key, as is a 2K clear coat - I use SprayMax

More recently I have been Using Kustom Canz effects paints and find them to be great.
