Does anybody know what colors to use to make Gun Metal Blue? I am really trying for a unique color. I want a blue effect when you look at a gun or pipes after they have turned blu.

I have tried a flash Silver with a Blue pearl and I got Silver with Blue highlights Rolling Eyes
Then I have tried a Blue and silver over shade effect. Trying to bring the colors of the two together on the car. Paint didn't like that much.
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks
D~
