Edit: here how the plastic spoons starts(white blase coat or black base coat, both work)

add some color to the protecting varnish and you end up with this..

Looks nice. There is some company that makes such spray paint in a can and they claim that it is not like the others. Good quality and shiny as if it has been electroplated.
