Yes it is!

I am also a fan of gunmetal colored cars and am getting my car painted some time this winter!

Do I need to know the paint codes or whatever for them to match a color? I've never had my car painted before so I don't know much about how the process works...

Jeep made a color called "Dark Slate Clearcoat", and only used it on the '98 5.9L Grand Cherokees (fat SUV's), NEways, put it on my 'lude AND I LOVE IT!!!! It looks black/gunmetal in direct sunlight, green/purple tinged under lights. Very "deep" color, but without all the expensive pearls and flakes.

sorry no pics, but definately get down to a paint shop and check it out.

BMW metallic grey is hot. think it's called titanium grey...
also, Audi Nimbus Grey is one of my favorite colors, but i guess it's not really a gunmetal since it's non metallic. i think that would look really good on an eg... the non metallic greys tend to look better on eg's where as the metallic one look better on ek's, imo.
