<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">I highly recommend Modern Masters metallic paints. You'll still want to prime over something shiny, but they're pretty thick and heavy duty; they have great coverage. English Brown is always in my distressing kit.<div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.modernmasters.com/landing/homeowners/brands/mpc">https://www.modernmasters.com/landing/homeowners/brands/mpc</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>I like the satin shimmer finish for faux metal. </div><div><br></div><div>And I'd just use a matte black spray primer over chrome. There aren't many parts of a wheelchair that see heavy impact that would chip them. I'd probably toss a piece of dark wood over the footrests to avoid painting them and make it feel a bit older. </div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jan 14, 2019 at 10:17 PM jdunfee12--- via Stagecraft <<a href="mailto:stagecraft@theatrical.net">stagecraft@theatrical.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="gmail-m_-1425505683280103067yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><div id="gmail-m_-1425505683280103067ydpef5bfbe5yahoo_quoted_8311550457" class="gmail-m_-1425505683280103067ydpef5bfbe5yahoo_quoted">
