I did one of those and it pretty much self destructed on me xD (cheap parts, mainly) So I wish you much luck on your re-assemble!
Hmm
As I say to most, Avoid excessive use of the rattlecan like the plague.
Try some Folk Art metallics hand paint (you can get them at your local uber-mart in the crafts section for about $1-2 usd)
They will take a few coats to give you a solid color but it is much better than all spray (Use a soft-bristle brush)
Base coat most everything in flat/semi-gloss black and let it dry/cure for at least 24 hours (a light steel-wooling when cured will do wonders for the metalics. Look for 0000 or 000 grade wool)
Antiquing is all personal taste. I go from so filthy some fear contracting HIV from touching it to just a bit scuffed up.
when you are happy with something, seal it with some flat or semi-gloss Krylon clear.
