Painting a steel roof

I manage a property that is build with a steel roof I'm looking for a paint that will look good and won't peel that quick and can handle rain/snow/sun. Please let me know what is the proper paint for this job.

An epoxy coating will do the trick. But it may yellow on aging.

Hello,

You want to start out with a zinc-zinc dust [on eBay or Amazon] er on the raw steel, followed with a poly-urethane top coat for the best durability.
