Dave - More than 15 years ago, before I got spray equipment, I used to paint plates based more on the gold color I could find in a spray can than the type of finish. Compared to most "furniture" that would require a protective coating, a piano plate is really not subject to very much abuse. I used a gold enamel on many plates back then and still service most of them today - they still look great and don't show an obvious tendency to chip.
