Long ago there was a brand of rattle an paint called chromatone, it was terrific. All the rattle an paints today are more EPA friendly and as such don't work as well. One option I forgot was the Pre-Val custom spray canisters, you can fill the glass bottle at the base with reduced Paint and use those to spray. They work pretty well.
Some auto paint supply houses will make you up a custom spray can too, from the automotive color paint lines like Chromabase. That paint though wants to be top coated within 24 hours, so you can paint a bike primer to clear in one day.
I do agree, Krylon is not the ticket, they do make a line for metal that is a bit different though, seldom seen.
