Plasti-kote probably do one - usually available in hobbycraft or B&Q.

Try your local B&Q for the Plasti-coat range of sprays. I have used them in the past, they are pretty good sprays and give a nice coverage.

No bronze spray on the B&Q website and the Plasti-kote website can be generously described as "utter, utter shite" for trying to find a colour :(

I'll have to use Google-fu later and see who turns up and if I can find any comments from people that have used them on miniatures.

Was in Homebase this evening and they had a potential candidate, two different copper sprays which might work.... anyone have any experience with Rust-oleum?

I use rustoleum flat primers for pretty much all my models. I've also used the chrome (metallic) spray with very good results.

If the copper spray is anything like their other paints and metallics, I think you'll be very satisfied with the result.
