Was thinking : silver primer, earth shade, dry silver, blue / green eyes and black gun.
Better ideas? Any photos ?
Need your help !
The classic silver Necrons are the Sautekh Dynasty, the first model seen in this Battle Ready tutorial:

I'd strongly suggest looking into metallic spray paint as a "primer". You can find them at craft stores, like Michael's and they're often on sale.
Then, hit them with a "thin" coat of Contrast. If you're looking at greenish-blue, I'd suggest maybe Akhelian Green, or Terradon Turquoise. Contrast looks AWESOME over metalics, and should get you a finish you're happy with. You can always drybrush after, but the effect is really good without needing to, and you shouldn't need a wash after, either.
Switch back to "normal" paint for your spot colours and such... bam. I'd guess 2 minutes each for the contrast coat, and then probably another 5-10 for the other colours. 15 min each, tops.
