The carbon vinyl kit is interesting, is there anything similar that is not pretending to be something else? Marine wrap?
The vinyl that they use to print signage on buses comes in primary colors. Try a sign shop.

I just touched up the paint on my brake calipers. I used a heat gun to try and speed up the drying and what I found was that runs sort of shimmer under the gun and you can push wet paint out of them under the skin as it forms with the air. I also saw a Youtube video on rattle-canning cars and he used a heat gun to pop air bubbles.
