Rail Paint

I welded a couple of rails for my backyard and then put on spray paint thinking that would work, but it chipped right off on the first hit.  The paint was meant for metal and outdoors, but it sure wasn't the right kind.  Does anyone know what type of paint I should use?

so if that is where it chipped off dont worry about it

your skis have sharp metal edges similar to a paint scraper.

The only way you'll get it to stay a color would be to stain it, i don't think you can do that with metal anyway. I think you'll never be able to have the part where you grind a single, painted color.
