Well i'd use the gunmetal grey acrylic paint I have.  But i'd spray a light coat of etching primer first.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Yup prime and then use one of the many gunmetal paints out there.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

A light sanding (#1000 sandpaper) will give a better surface for painting on, but with an etch primer that's probably not necessary.
