Hi Sue. Here are a bunch of different things that I have done with trays... http://www.recreateddesigns.com/?s=tray Hope it helps with some ideas.
Hello Sue, Sounds as if this might have been a Silver or Silver Plated Tray. If it was there could be Copper under the silver plate, and would look great cleaned up. Otherwise use Metal Metal Primer and Top coat (Available in your local DIY store or online.......
Spray paint is the way to go. If there are pretty details, use a dark or white wax in those areas to give depth.
I've spray painted many metal and silver plate trays trays. Also they make great chalkboards as well if the center ares is smooth
