Tamiya silver leaf comes in a spray can.

The gold leaf is totally unnecessary with this color (and could shift the color towards green), the pearl effect is similar to metallic, just slightly finer. It shows up very nicely, if you feel you must use a metallic undercoat use silver, not gold. This Porsche is painted pearl light blue over a Tamiya white primer base:
