Paint for wrought iron bench

[geraldthehamster]

I've just removed the paint and most of the rust from two wrought-iron bench ends, using a rotary wire brush.

Can someone please recommend the best paint to use? As the bench ends are made up of curved flat strips that are going to flex, I wonder if standard exterior gloss paint might crack and fall off over time.

Cheers

I've never been a big fan of Hammerite; in my experience it tends to fall off things. However, it's an option.
