First, clean and lightly sand the chandelier...
I barely touched the surface, was not meticulous at all and the paint adhered just fine...
Find a well-ventilated place outdoors to hang the chandelier. My arbor worked great...
I hooked the top of the chandelier to some sticks I slid through the arbor...
Tape the candlesticks so they don't get painted...I realized later I could have removed these and stuffed the sockets with cottonballs or something similar...
Use a spray paint trigger nozzle like this one, saves your fingers. I used flat white paint, but you could use glossy if you want that look. I plan to distress mine eventually so the flat was a better fit...
First coat is on, looks better already!
Second coat done...I let it dry overnight.
Time to add twine to the candlesticks... they were discolored and I saw other people do this to update them...
Just pop the candlesticks right back in when done glue gunning...
Voila, a new chandelier!
