Default Painting old silver plate

We have some old silverplated decorative birds on which the silver
plate is just shot. Not worth attempting to replate. However, we
could see painting them for occasional use.
My thought is to simply rough up the finish a bit and then spray paint
them the desired color. But, I thought I would ask if there is a
better approach to painting them, perhaps some particular undercoat,
specific paint?
TIA
