Check out some of Duplicolors special paints. They even sell color shifting and glow in the dark paints. Not to mention metal flake, anodized look, textured, you name it.

www.duplicolor.com Available at any decent local parts store.

Go to Wal-Mart. They have House of Colors' candies and pearls in several colors in spray cans in the automotive section. Base coat (after adhesion promoter!), Pearl or Candy coat, then Clear on top. For around $20 you can have a paint job that looks pro.

You should be able to do it. Seeing as how you have artistic talent you should have a steady hand. Just remember to do it in several light even coats. A lot of people tend to get very heavy handed when you put a can of spray paint in their hand and want to do it in like one or two coats.
