as subject really :)

I-Beams red oxide primed by steel supplier (although I bet new synthetic 'red oxide', nothing like the lead based paint of old.)

Going to have a wheel trolly rolling along the length of one beam.

Whats the best kind of paint for this thats super tough?

I bet the Rustoleum Hammertone would look awesome. People rave about how heavy duty that stuff is on automotive applications, I bet a steel I-beam inside a building fits into that category

Is this a pre-engineered metal building? If so, built up rigid frame beams are not designed for use with a trolly. Hopefully you had a beam designed into the structure just for this purpose. If so disregard my first comment.
