I doubt it, but if you find it please tell us.

Perhaps try a model shop that has a good selection of Tamiya
spray paints, they're enamel, and I have seen some interesting
finishes that might work on smaller scale projects that don't get
abused.

I remember going to Autobody Craftman aka Revisoin and they have these sample paint there that have something similar to the burnt titanium finish. Maybe I'll stop by to check it out next time and get some answer.

you cant just get that done. Its heat treated like the gold on my works. its an annodized process for that look. I am not exactly sure how it works but the color comes from a certain heat treatment thats applied to a polished or chrome based lip...again not EXACTLY sure, but this is nothing that Ye Old can just paint or spray on...its a difficult process...

NEO CHROME or BURNT TITANIUM is what I came up with also..

I found out the secret on how to get that look. I'm gonna test it out on some cheap piece of aluminum and will post back!

Thats what I thought too
I think that finish is specific to titanium anodizing...
