If you're worried about having a consistent colour across your army when painting many figures with a mixed colour, simply get an empty pot and mix up a large batch of the desired paints. Should see you through a fair amount of minis, without having to create the right balance every time.
As for painting dark armour, a mixture of black and metal for most of the surface and having brighter colours only on the very edges tends to look good.

I don't know if you were happy with the result you managed to get, but a modern approach would be to use a metal basecoat, covered in Black Templar Contrast Paint. I plan to do this for my Star Wars Legion guns (although I'm doing it over Stormhost Silver, so it shows a little more prominently, but over Leadbelcher will keep it dark). You can always Nuln Oil over the top or use two coats of Black Templar too - a little experimentation to find your exact preference.
