Paint suggestions for zinc to match copper patina lead

Help Me!

Hey all, so I’ve got a piece I plan to finish with copper patina, but I already know (from just trying to achieve a decent black finish on zinc) that if I even attempt to achieve a nice shiny copper patina on the zinc, I will struggle immensely and ultimately regret all decisions that led me there. I think I’m going to work smarter and not harder and just plan to spray paint my zinc border, however I’m unsure what paint to choose. I was wondering if anyone has any particular copper paints they’ve used for this purpose and had match relatively well to the copper finish on the solder? Thanks so much for any help!!
