I have a very simple computer chair--not a fancy office chair or anything. I was was wondering if I could spray paint the black plastic frame of the chair with a gold metallic spray. I would cover the fabric so it doesn't get paint on it. Would the paint stick? Would it flake off? Do I need a primer? Thanks!
Well you'd need a plastic primer and paint.The paint should be oil based
Plastic is a difficult thing to advise you on in regards to painting as there are many diff types and some will take paint and some wont. I suggest you do a small trial on the underside of chair using a spirit (not enamel) based paint, be sure to thoroughly clean the surface with spirit based cleaner as this will soften the plastic and help paint to stick. there are also products that are designed to make paint stick to any surface. I suggest that your local specialty paint shop could help with these products.
