So I've done some weathering job to my WWII collections. I sand off the original factory paints which seemed very plastic, and now i am having trouble finding a paint that will give guns a real steel greyish back feeling (gun bluing).
Any suggested paint that will do that work?

Here are some real steel pics of the guns im working on:

Get some acrylic metalic grey spray paint from your car store, they will have various shades depending how dark you want to go, when applied & dry you can dry brush sliver over the parts to give a worn look, for durability you could laquer it to, you can get matt, satin & gloss laqurers, this one is a very dark grey,
