Refinishing options?

I've had some reasonable results painting stuff myself, but the most durable results have always been when I've been able to dry the paint at elevated temperature or used 2 pack formulations.

Plus one for the two pack paint. Much much more durable. Use it outside and keep up wind and a normal ppe mask is ok for occasional use
If you can pick a warm day even better. Etch primer is also a must

Was that a 2 pack epoxy or enamel? any product names?

The 2 pack I've used is polyurethane - great stuff BUT YOU MUST WEAR APPROPRIATE PPE WHEN SPRAYING otherwise you will be really quite ill for a long time. I can't recall the manufacturer of it (was a few years ago), but seem to remember that it came from Germany. I've never used the epoxy myself, but a friend did and said it gave a very durable finish. Some quick googling turned up this stuff which seems pretty reasonable: https://www.taindustrialpaints.co.uk...pular-colours/
I've found drying at elevated temp. helps with pretty well all air dry paint types whether it's enamel out of a tin from the local paint dealer or even stuff in an aerosol: I don't think it's by chance that a lot of industrial finishes are referred to as "stoving enamel". Mind you the weather is generally cold and damp up here, not the best conditions for drying stuff.
