Answer
Hello Jasmin and thank you for your inquiry. You can get metal paint from art and craft stores but most of it requires lacquering after painting. Be sure you don't want to sell or use the pieces as vintage, however, as painting them will reduce their vintage value. Hope this helps and good luck !
