Default Painting my waterfall

Im looking to paint my waterfall and other accent pieces soon, I want to paint it a blue metallic color but the thing is, I don't have a paint gun. Is there a way to get the metal flakes using only rattle cans? Or does anyone know where i can get some rattle cans with the flakes in it already?

Goto Auto Zone/Pep Boys/Advanced Auto Parts and look. They have a large variety of automotive paints that have a "flake" in them that you can use that are spray can form. Even wal mart or other retailers might have such.

Some placed like napa can color match, My napa sucks at mixing paint. You can go to paint scratch and order color matched. I think when i paint mine im gonna color match. I have Nautical Blue Metallic
