I believe it's Rustoleum Combi Colour you're after.
This is Combi Colour but sprayed from a cheap spray gun with a compressor:
If you can invest in a compressor and a cheap gun, you'll get a better finish and it won't take you as long.

rustoleum stockist in or nr slough/windsor is avenue coatings 01753 686888 ask for alan. ps he's a nice guy but you need to chase him as he seems a bit forgetful. £30 ish for combicolor large tin £16 for small i think. they will also knock you up aerosols too from same batch, good for those tricky bits. I am going to over-order so i've always got plenty for the future. also on utube (just put in rustoleum) some guys do get some truly amazing results with it. havent done mine just yet but will be soon. good luck.

This may be down to an error in applying, but I painted the underneath of my mini 12 months ago with Rustoleum, I had it spit roasted at the time, so the floor was cleaned then degreased, sprayed on the rustoluem, about a month ago I had to redo the whole floor , paint was literally flaking off
I've now painted it with POR15, obviously not an ideal paint for top coating though
