Did you ever find the paint you're looking for? I use that type of paint often -what I use is "Auto-Air" silver base coarse. Comes in bottles - typically 6oz. - relatively cheap too. It is water based and sprays just fine through a .3 aribrush tip. You will need to coat is with a topcoat. I use it with good results.

Where do you buy it?

Sorry guys - I've seen them on eBay quite often, but otherwise, I usually get them from TCP. I was mistaken about the 6oz. bottles - it is 4oz. Here is the direct link...
