The time has come to paint the inner floor of my VW Splitty camper -

I have etch primed it all ready for some paint and am struggling to decide what to use. They all come with the interiors painted in grey primer as standard. so I wanted to replicate that.
My first thoughts were to use Hammerite/Smoothrite paint in grey. But guess what, they do every ****ing colour except grey. Even metallic green.
Wanted to use Smoothrite stuff cos it comes in an aerosol and dries really hard.
Looks like the only way I can use this, is to buy a tin of black and white brush on stuff and mix it up. Expensive for the relatively small area.
A lot of people have also used a product called Rustoleum, which is available in most colours and in an aerosol. People have mixed results with this though.
Most report that, when fully dry, it doesnt pass the finger nail test (you can dig a finger nail into it cos its so soft).
Another option is floor paint.
Screwfix sell this -

which would have to be thinned down I surpose.
What would you recommed?
It has to be - Light grey, very hard wearing, easy to apply (aerosol or brush cos I dont have a compressor).
