See the platter that is holding the sunglasses? It is a HEAVY piece, but has some terrible scratches and areas where the plating has been completely worn away. I still love the detailing of the edges and it is elevated by three decorative feet.
The engraving on the back says,"W & S Blackinton, Chippendale, 1451".
Kammy, over at Small Home In the Country introduced me to this FABULOUS color of spray paint by Krylon a few months ago: Oil Rubbed Bronze
I decided that is just what this platter due. Please notice how I recycle old plastic coated tablecloths for painting projects. I use them over and over before tossing them out.
I added 2 coats of the paint to both sides and now have a lovely "new" platter!
Thanks for taking the time to read about my latest "makeover"...I'm linking to Metamorphosis Monday, graciously hosted by Susan over at Between Naps on the Porch.

It looks great. I need to try some of the metal finish paint.
Great idea. laura@the mansion
I really like that color of spray paint. Your tray turned out very well. You'll have to show us where you end up using it in your home.
I love that color. I used it on my court yard gate.
The tray looks great.

I love how your tray turned out! That is such a neat color to use, I have used hammered bronze and love that as well! Cindy
I like the depth the spray paint gave your tray. It's beautiful.
Hey Suzanne !
I am loving that "new" tray - you did a wonderful job ! Thanks for mentioning me in your post today - you are a sweetie !
I am loving that tablecloth idea - right now I am using an old table - which really needs a re-make - but, I was thinking what will I use then - now I know - great tip !
Hugs ~ Kammy
p.s. My pups are still LOVIN their sweet collars you made !
Looks great and it is a great tray -- I also love the ones with feet!
I always gasp at the thought of spraying silver, but it looks really sharp. Thanks for sharing!
GREAT idea... old becomes NEW!!!
Beautiful! I did this a few weeks ago, with a large silver tray and was amazed at how much the intricate designs were enhanced by the dark spray paint. Your looks wonderful! ~Rhonda :)
Can't wait to see what you do with your "new" tray!

FANTASTIC idea! And it's nice to see someone so close to home doing such great things! I grew up in San Angelo! Now I live in NY, but miss that friendly atmosphere daily! :)
