i would use primer that works for metal things first and then you can probably use any kind of paint.
Lindsy, I think you are probably right. I was hoping I could find something that would let me skip the primer, but it doesn't look that way. Thanks for the suggestion!
If you have a Lowes near you they carry this awesome spray paint called Valspar Premium. This stuff sticks to anything! I used it to paint some porcelain pieces and it did the trick. It comes in all kinds of colors and finishes from flat to gloss. Here is a link. Hope this helps!

if the valspar (really good spray paint) doesn't work, a primer or (worse) sanding might help. just a light sanding with 200 grit sandpaper would rough up the surface enough to get the paint to stick.
Thanks for the advice! I will hunt down some Valspar this weekend! :-)

Hi everyone!
I found some inexpensive (but pretty) metal candle holders that I would like to use as part of our wedding decor. The only problem is they are black, and I would prefer them to be gold. I bought them with the intention of painting them, but I am having a difficult time finding a pretty shade of gold paint that will work on metal.
I have tried several varieties of spraypaint, but they either weren't the right shade (I am looking for a "soft" gold) or else they didn't stick very well to the metal. Any suggestions at all would be helpful. Thanks!!!
