To paint metal frame glasses, first, take out the lenses. Scuff the frame surface to help the paint stick. Use oil-based paint in a well-ventilated space for better adhesion. Apply 2-3 thin coats for an even finish. Allow each coat to dry fully before adding the next for the best results.
After preparing the surface, apply a thin layer of metal primer. This primer will create a smooth base for the paint. Once dry, choose a color and apply the spray paint in light, even coats. Hold the can about six inches away from the frame to avoid drips. Allow the paint to dry completely between coats.
Finally, seal your work with a clear coat for durability. This sealant protects the color and maintains the finish. Touch-ups can be made very easily by repeating the process on small areas that may need more coverage.
