I wouldn't feel confident spraying.
Have a look at this thread, theres some bodyshop types there.

They may be able to help.
Where abouts in Gateshead are you?

silver is a bugger to match 100% especially on an older car (paint fade, etc)
you really needed to blend it into the surrounding paintwork instead of masking it up.
my last car (05 Golf) was silver and the paint looked mint, after i bought it and put it in the garage the panels looked different shades as some had been resprayed.
The paintwork was spot on but not blended in which made them stand out

Try Cashmere Yellow, also a bugger. My car is due to go in to get the whole front end blended in, it's a really tough colour just to apply to one area.

Subaru silver? Oh dear! Don't worry, even the best of sprayers can **** that up. Main problem is the tinter and metallic pigment. It doesn't mix uniformly.
Now because of that, the exact same paint can come up two different colours purely down to how its agitated (mixed), the air pressure used, the angle the gun is to the panel, and the distance the gun is from the panel...any variations cause a variation in pigment distribution. Thus causing a shade variation (especially when looked at from varying angles/light ).
Some silvers are fine, but I do know the Subaru silver isn't the best of paint colours to work with. Still can be sprayed and blended ok...just needs more care and attention.
Worst example I've seen was where the paint sprayer has changed the angle/distance of the gun after every pass...the result was a stripey bonnet!
Also bumpers should have a plasticiser mixed in for durability (helps stop cracking if flexed, and helps against stone chips), but thats another complication.
