paint for a trailer?

[scrat]

Can anyone suggest what paint to use for the outside of an old Rice trailer? It won't be sprayed at this point as this is a bit pricey but needs a repaint and preferably in dark green. Thanks.

I had to repaint my old trailer and after sanding down as much of the old paint i went out and bought metal paint but it reacted to the paint already on it, i had to go out and buy hammerite.
This was the only paint i was told that would not react to the paint already on it, i would recommend that if you can get a small test pot and see wether it will go on or not.
It turned out to be an expensive mistake for me, hammerite also do a nice dark green which i opted for.
