I think you may have cracked it Ian. I'd never heard of these before but I've just looked at their website and their metal roofing paints seem to be exactly what I was searching for - agricultural grade top coat paints for a metal roof at a reasonable price and with a buy online capability...

I should have stressed that the roof isn't actually leaking, I just want to give a coat of protective paint to extend its life for a few more years. I've had a few projects higher up in the backlog stack (new greenhouse, replacing my central heating...) keeping me away from it and diverting...
