Heya! <

I'm currently building a sentry tower, basically 4 tall posts with metal cut into smaller boards and run over the space between the posts in a 'X' and 'Z' fashion.

However, I'm at a point in custruction where I ought to paint the interior sections if I want to make it 100% easier to paint in the end, however, I need to know what types of paint I should get. I'm thinking of making it a reddish copper-like metal colour for the 'X' and 'Z' sections and a dull lead-like gray to the posts and mounted pad. Does anybody know what metallic paints would give me those colours?? Paints from, www.Currys.comwould really help thanks!

You don't necesarily need the copper paint to achieve this.
It should also be fully possible by just mixing or overpainting any standard metallic with some sort of brown ink or wash.
