Use very light coats (small bursts) and stay at least 10-12 inches away, if using a satin or matt paint you won't go wrong....just light coats not one heavy one.
No sweat, if you foul up wipe it off and try again....
Rustoleum or Krylon are good rattle can spray paints.
Best, Ben

Krylon might have a "fan nozzle" making spraying easier....not as durable as P.C. but it's on a part that will not get a lot of touching, unless wrapping a chain around it!
