The only one which springs to mind is Hammerite or Plastikote. Both come in spray cans.

I don't like Hammerite as it tends to be brittle & chips easily.
You could try an agricultural suppliers for 'Implement Paint'. I have used the Sparex range of paints before, with good results. I quite like 'Simba Orange'. You can get details HERE (http://www2.gb.sparex.com/Sparex.aspx?PageID=0&cboSearchType=10&PageAction=QuickSearch&txtKeyword=simba%20orange&txtFreeTextSearchType=AND)
It looks like this:

It tends to stand up to the knocks & bangs very well, but you'll need to prepare the surface well & prime it first.
