I found gold silver spray paint for candles online, but not silver. Can I use normal spray paint?
Where can I find silver spray paint for candles?

Spray paint may not be your best solution. It can work okay, but if you get any overspray on the top of the votive, or on the wick, it's going to crackle and smoke. I've been making candles for about 8 years now, so trust me when I tell you that you have to take care with decorations! I found this website for you, though – http://www.walltowallstencils.com/paints/candle.php – and here's some information that might help:

"Paint products specifically made for painting on candles and soap are now available. Candle and Soap Paints can be purchased for painting directly onto candles and soaps. If you already own a ton of acrylic paints and don't want to invest in more paints, you can simple buy one bottle of candle and soap painting medium (both Delta and DecoArt manufacture this product). Simply mix equal parts of the candle and soap medium with acrylic paint and then stencil."

They sell metallic acrylic paints at any local craft store, and even at places like Wal-mart. A little goes a long way, especially on small candles like votives. Hope that helps!Good luck!
