Spray paint that holds up to weather?

I have a hi lift attachment that I want to put on. It's bare steel. I'd like to spray paint it to match. I worry that it will fade and require reapplication often (I'm a bit anal). Is there a brand of spray paint resistant or more resistant to fading? Or, is there a top coat spray that helps reflect he harmful rays to slow down the fading?

I always have good luck with Rustoleum. It's easy to get a even coat with and prevents rust, being that you're working with bare steel. People use it to paint entire cars sometimes. You can get it at any Lowes in about any color you want. You may want to pick up a can of their clear finish and put over it just to keep and scratches from showing up.

I really like VHT brand. It holds up really well... And they have a ton of different paints for different applications. I used the roll bar and Chassis paint on my sliders and on my custom front drive shaft and it's held up great!

I second VHT. Not only for the way it lays on nicely or that it seems to last very well, but also because I've never ever had one can clog on me. Rustoleum is good paint but about 1/3 of the cans I've used have either failed immediately or clogged with 1/2 or more paint left in the can.

My local Autozone has a huge selection of VHT in many colors.

X2 on VHT roll bar paint in satin black. Holds up well and easy to touch up scratches.

Definatley had the same issues. And I know VHT did a restoration on an old vehicle and can't remember what it was but they used anything from VHT cloth and interior paint, roll bar and Chassis paint, and even manifold paint. They seem to have it all and it's awesome stuff.

rustoleum. After use, spray upside down for 5 seconds, then wipe the nozzle off with a paper towel. Way less clogs that way. Satin black is awesome for just about everything. I spray anything under the jeep that's rusty with it every month or so.
