OK, so I got my new sabers through from Anakin Starkiller's latest 'builders kit' run and I'm well impressed. I'm so impressed that I unboxed one of them and ran in to the garage to have at it with my OB1 Kenobi stunt build/homage.
Now it seems there's probably at least two stunt OB1 sabers made for for ANH, so this is going to be a mild amalgamation of them all but basically this is what I'm aiming for:

Now to me, it looks like the main body (grenade / booster / emitter sections) are all black but i'm sure I've seen some pics where there are sabers with a bronze tone and gun metal tone to the neck and emitter - so that's the look I'm aiming for.
So this is where we are so far (i'm experimenting with rattle can colours). I rattle canned it all black, now i'm fine tuning the neck upwards til i'm happy.
I found a can of a metallic graphite enamel in the garage and at first glance it in the dim light of the garage it looked ok:

But when you get it under some light, it goes really silvery which isn't what I am aiming for:

So I reckon I'll be nipping down to Hobbycraft tomorrow to get some more rattle cans.
