    Just use a spray paint with multiple light coats. I did that on a brass coffee table legs.

    Rustolium makes great colors. Post a photo if you can. I had repainted a metal chandelier years ago. It was just white but came out perfect. They make spray and in a can. I used the spray. Use short light strokes. Then go over.

    Spray paint— rustoleum universal is a particularly great paint for metal. Preformed wonderfully on my metal mesh patio set.


    Rustoleum spray painting recommendations


    PREPARE:

    Always work in a well-ventilated area. Cover the floor and nearby items with a drop cloth. Lightly scuff any glossy surfaces and wipe clean with a lint-free cloth. Use Painter’s tape to hide any surfaces you don’t want to paint.


    PAINT:

    Using slow, back-and-forth motions, spray paint each item with several light coats of spray paint, making sure to overlap each stroke slightly. Apply 2-3 coats of spray paint, waiting a few minutes in between each coat.


    FINISH:

    Let spray paint dry for approximately 1 hour before handling.
