I’m looking to upcycle some ugly lamps, but I rent a small nyc apartment and don’t feel comfortable spray painting indoors. I don’t mind brush painting - any advice on where I can find appropriate paint? Any amazon recommendations? Thank you!

You could always create a makeshift paint booth with some cardboard and plastic sheeting. If you’d still rather brush it on, don’t you have any hardware stores nearby? No clue how you nyc people live. In the burbs, I either go to a Sherwin Williams store or my local big box. Make sure you get the right type of paint and apply it correctly for your application and material. I don’t think paint sells well on places like amazon because of limitations on color choices and finishes.
