My coffee table has a very shiny chrome finish and I would like to make it more of a "satin" finish. Is there something I can brush on that would change the appearance or should I just give spray paint a shot?

It can be tough to brush a finish on metal and not see brush strokes, Janice. I think you might be happiest with a spray paint finish. If you love the chrome color, you can get spray paint that is clear - but matte. :)
Hi Janice , I believe it’s rustoleum that makes a “ Clear Matt Finish” spray paint you may want to try it.
Just remember to shake very well and I’d spray first elsewhere before spraying the table .

Hi Janice. I found that one of the hardest things about a metallic table is that every little flaw and ding shows. Here’s a similar table that I redid by crumpling up some tissue paper and then using ModPodge to glue it on the tabletop. Then I added some layers of black and gold paint. It covered up the flaws in the metal table top beautifully by giving it some texture.
I was so happy to finally fix these tables once I had some suggestions. The second picture is before. Way too shiny for my taste. I first tried the clear satin spray paint that was suggested. The finish was perfect but the color was now had a bluish tint. Next I tried a metallic silver satin spray paint and it is perfect. I really didn't expect it to come out so nice. Thanks for the help once again guys!
