Google is a good tool for info. Search "heat resistant paint site:.uk" will get you a list of ...well heat resitant paints. After that you'll have to do due dilligence and sort the sales splurb from fact.
Presumably you can get Rustoleum paints over there? Here in Aus we can get High Heat Primer Spray... good for 1093C and a variety of colours. Well not such a variety but the usual suspects of black, silver, blue(ish) and one or two others.

To answer your question, I don't know. You don't necessarily need high temp paint except for around the firebox the rest of the cooker should stay cool enough for most any paint.
Most guys use the high heat rustoleum , but I've seen several that do powder coating or automotive paint. When choosing a paint read the application instructions first. Many of the paints I've looked at required curing with heat that simply isn't practical for the smoker at home. I am interested to see what you find since I haven't settled on what I will paint mine with.

Cool, cheers for the info. Reason I asked was encase anyone else had advice for paints rather than me having to spend time on Google, but yes i did see the rustoleum paints there.
I do have mates who own a car bodyshop who could paint the full thing,bit of hassle moving the smoker once it's done though so maybe just keep it simple. I'll let you know what I decide on

Thanks

I powder coated my dp gf smoke.
Beauty! Still a bit of burn around the firebox but the rest is pretty much bullet proof! ImageImageImage
