If you were going to use some sort of paint and sealer on metal bottle caps that wouldn't chip, which paint would you use? I was thinking both a base coat and some sort of decoration (nothing too complicated). I know they make certain paints just for metals, which I've seen in hardware stores and the like. I thought spray paint might work for the base coat, but I wasn't sure about something I could spread with a brush for detail work. Does anyone have any particular recommendations/suggestions?

You could probably get the primer in a spray can, but definitely read the fine print to be absolutely sure about this.
I'm not sure what the Humbrol enamels are based on but if they are synthetic, then I'd consider them a good option.
