use Krylon Fusion paint, if you want to use a color that fusion doesnt come in, paint it with white fusion then paint over it with your other spraypaint

if bunnings doesn't have it (and they probably wont cos they're shit) maybe just a paint shop like Wattyl Paints, or mitre 10.
just tell them what it does and they should help.

I paint all of my spudguns using Rustoleum (sp?) paint. It's designed for metal so it sticks great on plastic and leaves a nice metalic sheen. Also I always sand my components with fine grade sand paper and make sure everything is nice and smooth before painting. Also the texture created by the sanding allows the paint to stick more thouroughly. I also suggest suspending your spudgun with some scrap wire so that you can paint all surfaces evenly.
