If it were me I would use Testor Model Master Metalizer Paints, or use Alclad paints. Most of the time you want a smoth Gloss Black paint job before you use these paints. Also once painted you will need to seal the metalizers with a top coat. Here is the testors website; http://www.testors.com/tes_cds/color_charts/1400_ModelMaster_Metalizer.pdf and here is alclads site, http://www.alclad2.com/alclad-home.html This should help you out.
