+1 on the Molotow, at least the black (which is the only one I've used). I've had some success with various other randoms found on the shelf at b&q, like Rustoleum. Their stove and BBQ black paint came up a lovely flat black and they had some sort of textured brown that gave a passable impression of rust for a post-apoc gun.
Worth a look to see what's there if you're passing. Avoids the postage too.
Glad to hear that Molotow is good, as apart from the 'semi-gloss' issue (i think the ebay listing saying 'matte' is wrong, unless semi-gloss is much more matte than gloss), the price is right (c'mon down) on those. I'm considering 9 different colours (white, ruby red, black forest green, leaf green middle, camouflage (olive green), khaki, sahara beige, black grey dark, choc brown)
I could pick up black and white from Halfords to get it down to 6 from ebay.
The B&Q ones are a fair bit pricier at ~£12 per tin, which will add up to a chunk of change for 8 or 9 cans, so maybe just that textured brown one, as it does sound interesting - I'd be very happy to get a battle-worn look.
As usual I may be overthinking this, but I do want to get get away from standard dark DPM and get a
little more adventurous.
Here are the main camo patterns in Battlefield 4, most of which are going to hard for a novice gun painter to achieve, so consider it a 'mood board'. 'Havoc' is the one I've usually used on my gun in-game, I was thinking of tearing (maybe shooting!) some holes in aluminium foil as that makes for some nice jagged template holes, but it'd be hard to get sharply defined edges across the whole gun
So I'll probably end up with a bolder version of the 'Spray Autumn' pattern with some white and dark red to add some extra interest.

Edit2:
Got a reply back from the ebay shop, they suggest these which are matte, and similar pricing - pick any 6 for £30, free postage:
