Problem is there are so many shades of Gun metal it's untrue!
Some are green, some are blue.
I've used a honda colour for some wheels that came out a bit darker than that. Nip along to Halfords or a similar place that carried automotive paint and buy a few cans that you like the look of and spray up some test panels.
Try different colours of primer too. I found a dark grey primer gave a different 'shade' to a light grey primer.

Yeah I know what you mean about all the different shades. I've tried rover hurricane grey which is a bit darker than the picture but i'll see how it goes. Thanks for your help.
