I found this item in the MSC catalog: High solids, low voc epoxy primer. Ideal for construction machinery and farm equipment. $46 a gallon. page 2720 in the
Has anyone used this primer? Comments. I am painting a lathe and have much bare metal to cover, especially in the webbing of the bed. Other suggestions would be appreciated.

I used a Rustolium "Fish Oil" primer and Imron on a david I built on the lake. Still looks good aftre 20 years of lake Erie's worst.
I would recommend a "urethane fortified" industrial paint like Benjamin Moore M22 for your topcoat. This is easy to apply, is pretty tough and resists oil stains. I used it on my lathe and it has worked well. I would use whatever matching primer they recommend for this paint. If you are in California you have to use the CM22 version, which takes a little longer to dry.
Good luck-
