Looking for Titanium paint

I've searched around on Google and on the Duplicolor website, and I haven't really been able to lock down a titanium colored spray paint.

Silver is too shiny, and I'm looking for something that is a little more dark and flat in color than a chrome or silver color. Anyone have a sugjestion with something they have found?
 
You could mix your own and spray it down. For every 1 ounce silver, add 56 drops orange and 8 drops black or charcoal.

You could go to an autoparts store that specializes in automotive paints, give them this recipe, and they could mix you up paint and put it in spray cans for about 8 bucks a can...not cheap, but it would do what you want.

If you're going for the dull look, seal with a semi-gloss or flat clear.

*edit*

A suitable color for your needs was factory original on the Lamborghini Murcielago. Grigio Anteres Metallic. PPG code *0048

Titanium color

Afforementioned store should be able to get you some spraycans of that color.

Interesting... well I might go with that but my only issue with it is that I'm looking for a completely smooth finish, and what I mean by that, I want the entire consistancy of the paint to be the same, where as in that Murcielago paint it has certain spots that are more glittery less glittery etc. I think when I say flat, I mean consistant.

I've looked here http://www.metropartsmarket.com/catalog/originalautopaintandvinyldye-c2s4.html and they sell 5 cans for $60US which isn't bad, but that titanium looks almost like brown (when you click the info link). Anyway, I'm sure my search isn't over but these are good alternatives if I give up.

(other colors I am accepting if anyone looks is Grapphite, or Platinum... Platinum is a last resort though due to how reflective it usually is).

That semi-gloss clear coat idea also might work... Good input though, I'll definately have to check it out.
