Hi. I have early 70's square chrome/metal door handles. I really like them and suit the house but would love to trend them up a bit and spray paint them a matt black.
Is this do able?

you will need to etch primer them first.

handles are. handled very much and paint could soon wear out by parts.

for a more permanent finish you could take them to be powder coated, should not cost very much.
