Picked myself up a series 3 at the weekend in mint green colour... Can anyone recommend where I might be able to get some decent paint perhaps with rust inhibitor lol.
Paint??

Could be this one. Alloy doesn't rust, use etch primer first. If you want to paint the steel bits, rust inhibitor, Primer, Topcoat.
If you want to run an old landrover, learning how to Google will be an advantage!

Not sure if that is aimed at me, or OP?
But if it is me. Galv is tricky, try and let it weather a bit first. Then use a mordant solution, calcium plumbate special metals primer, then topcoat. It still comes off sometimes.

It was thanks... .LOL let it weather a bit I just went ape at the galvanisers who left it outside for 2 weeks
They did, hang it up in your barn for another 6 months, paint may stay on.

I've found Bonda Primer will stay stuck to galv coatings.
Although I'm sure I've read not to paint galv with it.
But I have and it works perfectly.
Will bear that in mind. The advice is probably just a disclaimer, to avoid a lot of lawsuits from people traumatised by their paint falling off!

I would rather use the forum and learn from experience such as yours which is gratefully received.. Besides there are too many experts representing business/advertising.Could be this one.
