No, Dulux is no good. It usually has lots of Dog hair in it and every now and again they mix jellybeans through it which gives a real lumpy look to your paint job. To make it shiny you need to put a couple of coats of Mr Sheen over it. Bettr buy a whole b

Also make sure you dont apply the paint upside down, because it will just come out very dull.

Make sure you use a wire brush for that metallic look that you are after.

If you cant get hold of a spraygun, do not, and I stress, do not under any circumstances try to use a brush.
Go to bunnings & buy a roller.
You can even get these fancy little narrow ones now for doing the A-pillars.
