I've had pretty good luck with Rustoleum oil based spray enamel.

With Rustoleum you can do a multicolor paint job in one hour. The key is to go light with the coats and work in a warm, dry area. This time of year you can walk outside, spray, walk back inside so you don't pollute the shop too badly.

Ex. White Rusto base coat - 10min. - Silver Metalic mist on sides - 10min. Gold metalic mist on sides - 10min. - Blue metalic mist on top - 10min. - very light black metalic mist on top - 10min. - mist of Rusto clear to protect color while curing occurs.

All that is needed is 5-10 minutes between shots to allow the bulk of the solvent to volatize, thus keeping them from blending into mud. One caution- you will need to let the paint 'cure' for a couple weeks before adding epoxy to ensure that you don't encapsulate escaping solvents under the epoxy, which leads to adhesion issues.

Not necessarily the best way, but an easy way to get decent results.
