Default copic - metallic look

I have an image with a large galvanized sprinkling can. I want to color it with my Copics, but don't really know which gray would be best and how to achieve a dull metallic look. Any suggestions?

Sometimes I add my silver colored pencil to the gray.

I like the cool grays for coloring "metal"... I googled and found a couple tutorials that might help you:

Beep-Beep I Love You: Coloring Images to Look Like Metal ~ iCopic Lover

I Like Markers: Coloring Metal things - part 1

Good luck!
