I am looking at a 1920s tin cigarette box. There are rust stains and scratched-off paint. I think I have a good idea about how to take care of the rust, but what kind of paint would be best for this job?
Thanks!

It's value will be gone either way: it's a theatrical prop and will get beaten up regardless. I just need it to look a bit newer than it does.

Lightly sand the whole case and spray paint it with chrome paint to restore the shininess. I would also spray a clear coat on top of the paint.

Leave the box alone. If you want a better conditioned box buy one. Don't mess with the one you have, you will ruin any value it might have.

repairing it will take away its antique value, dont touch it.
