Sure, but it wouldn’t be my first choice on a metal throw. I’d go more with an enamel like model paint.

Depends on the brand. Testors is a popular brand of model paint, and they sell it at under $2 per .25 ounce. I’m sure better deals can be had on larger quantities, but chances are you won’t need much at any given time.

I suggest watered down Warhammer paint (Available at Games Workshops) and then applying it with and airbrush. But that’s just me ;D
