Hi all could anyone give me some advice on the best paint for metal window security grills that need repainting and where to purchase the paint. Regards John Wheaton
Luxens anti rust metallic paint available from Leroy Merlin. Also Oxiron from the same place but more expensive.

I'd agree with Marcliff except I always use 0xiron.
If you want any advice on paint related matters I always find the staff in Leroy Merlin are very helpful and there is always a english speaker if your spanish is limited.

If it possible to remove Grills, some are just screwed in, others are built in
I would remove grills and send them off to be dipped In paints, by far a better finish and longer lasting, but a bit expensive but money well spent

I agree, Hammerite metal paint is well worth the expense.
