What paint is needed for Iron railings ( exterior )

I need to paint some typical iron railings and posts.  I am not sure what is on there now, but there are a bunch of old layers.  Not much scraping needed.  What is the best, most durable paint?  I am going to paint it black ( no colors anymore……)
