Paint for metal bottle caps?

[untonuggan]

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?

Thanks in advance, dreamwidth hive mind!

Question answered by poster above. (Humbrol is way cheaper for a small sample to test.)

True, true.
I sometimes forget that others may not have dozens of half-used cans of paint standing around, like I do. ;-)

I used to, but I just moved and I my housemate purged a bunch of paint because the movers do not move paint. I saved some all-purpose craft paint and some Ann Slaon Chalk Paint, but other than that we are paintless. :(
