Did you go to your local paint store and ask them for suggestions. You could call someone such as Sherwin Williams or other paint companies on the phone and get a professional opinion. They would have the best information. Sadly oil paint has been phased out in favor of Latex products. Another suggestion is check out a body shop. They may air spray the railings for you for a price.
