Water based craft paints
wood crafts but they will work on many surfaces including metal! And they can even be thinned and ran through an air brush!
Although they are water based, when fully dry they are water resistant and will resist even solvents to a certain degree! So if you brush or spray the paints and let them sufficiently cure(about 24 hours) you should be able to apply an acrylic solvent clear lacquer to increase the durability and shine.

Metallic craft paints
A really nice option available with craft paints is metallic paints. They are available in many colors available and they are intermixable simular to the flat colors offerinf infinate color mixing properties. The copper, bronze, silver, and gold paints have real metal powders like copper powder or aluminum powder dispersed in the emulsion. The rest of the colors are mica based. Applying to metal and wood
The acrylic craft paints may be painted on metal surfaces as well as wood. For wood primer is optional but recommended. If you want the wood grain to show through then you will need a clear acrylic medium and some thinner. But stained varnished would be better. There are a series of water based varnishes in the market and the craft paints can be used to tint the varnishes if used sparingly.For metal primer is essential else the paint is suseptable to peeling off the substrate. The primer serves two roles. One to seal the metal surface and two as a surface with "tooth" for the top coat of paint to adhere better to.
