I'd be looking at a zinc rich urethane based paint like many folks use on
car undercarriages. The zinc will help avoid rust from starting in
scratches, etc.
I think the original application is a steel coating for bridges. Some are
UV stable, some are not and need top coating. Either way, however, pounding
is going to take it's toll on any finish.

I've got an old Prentiss #56 bull dog vise that I've cleaned up and want to
mount on an outdoor workbench... I first tried painting with hammered
finish
Krylon but after about a year in the elements the Krylon is looking tired.
Recommend a good paint for this beauty that will endure the elements... live
in the South so it's mostly sun/rain to deal with... Epoxy based ?? some
exotic stuff ?? I tried the heated linseed oil coating and wasn't pleased
with the look.. I like shiney !
thanks
John
