I have used generic acrylic paint (5$ a big can) on a custom silencer project.

A tip I found it to paint the under coat in some metalic color (I used silver, maybe gunmetal or metalic black should be better) The paint contains metalic chips so you can then use almost any finish type, it will end in flat. Good to make some semi flat weird finish. Plus it helps a lot to make the colors look like what they should be (the metalic flakes reflect the light so the coat above get's brighter)

Top coated with some Krylon flat clear coat (2 coats) and brushed with a steel wool.
