>> The problem with marine paints is that they do not have a good finish that you want on a bike. If you want a good bicycle finish you can use two part epoxy paint but you must immediately then clean out the sprayer with acytone. Another method is to take your frame to a powder coating company and have the old frame and fork sand blasted clean and you then spray and cook on a powder coating. The are also available in high luster finishes. Though those are quite a bit more expensive. Semi-shiny white finishes are commony used on shop shelves and is quite inexpensive and is difficult to rust through.

I know nothing about hull paint but there are several hits 
for 'paint car with marine hull paint' which generally 
advise against that:

https://www.reddit.com/r/paint/comments/rs8rmu/boat_bottom_paint_as_a_car_underbody/

Assuming cars and bicycle are more similar than either to hulls.
