As for the gunmetal, it's also a difficult colour to reproduce but I hope I produced something to give you an idea.
first of all work with the lasso tool more, you missed a few spots and you took color out of the lights. once you have your selection traced, right click and make a new layer via copy. go to color variations (i have PS Elements so i don't know if yours is different), then add a little bit of red, go to levels and decrease hilights a bit, and decrease the contrast a bit while decreasing brightness. thats as best as i can explain how i did it. i don't follow any particular method with the levels and contrast, i just do what looks good for the color im trying to match and the quality of the picture
