The paint will not adhere well and won't flex, so it will crack and flake off. There is a product you can try called Adhesion Promoter that may help the TS spray adhere.

Try an auto parts store.

It goes on clear, cannot be sanded, and has a rough texture whem applied for the top cot to "grab" a hold of. It also flexes. When you go looking for it, it is called "Adhesion Promoter".

Yes, Silver and Red Oxide colors randomly sprayed on the inside can create a great effect. I have also seen Black splattered on the inside.
