Where do you live?
If you're in the UK then you'll need an official VCRA exepmtion. Student films and the like probably don't count.

Spray it silver, then coat it in black
use some sand paper to remove black paint around the edges (not too much) to give it a used look. Always worked for me...

Use different blacks for different components of the gun, as if the individual parts were painted at the factory (or different factories) and didn't turn out identical. Not night-and-day different; subtle.
Resist the temptation to use gloss paint. I like Satin black and semi-flat black.

alclad paints have some realistic looking metal finishes depending on what you need , although the silver and black method looks pretty nice
This is how its done in HOLLYWOOD.
1) Flat Black, let it dry real good.
2) Rub with powdered graphiite
3) Spray with CLEAR MATT (Krylon) Let dry again....
Repeat steps 2 and 3, as desired....then finally...
Rub with Graphite....buff lightly with a cotton cloth...and WALLA!!

I found a tutorial for this just the other day and did a write up for it on my site. It could work depending on what look you are going for.

Hey,
And here is how I do it,
Spray matt black, let it dry, then paint/stipple on Z-BRITE (grate polish), let that dry, buff back with a soft cloth, dust some clear laquer on it and then pick out the edges with some silver finger. I like to add small scuff marks and maybe a slight bit of rusting.
Check out prop makers Look under hand props and then weapons.:love
