                        I've found that the pigment in most gunmetal paint is too large. I always paint the item dark gray and then rub it with graphite from a lead pencil. Looks good to me! Approve [^]

                        I agree with Pete. Only I rub the pencil lead against a sand paper and apply the powder with a brush. Should look like gunmetal.

                        Good luck.
