The only metal specific paint I can find really is hammerite but that doesn't give you a RAL value. So can I use an acrylic spray can on top of an etch primer (acrylic sprays seem to be easier to get as a specific RAL) and then use a lacquer of some sort on top to give it a nice gloss and protect it? Or is there a better way to do this that I'm unaware of?

If you go to your local automotive paint supplier they can mix to RAL colours, usually in spray cans. I pay about £10 a tin of mixed spray paint - sorry but no paint is cheap anymore.
