Years ago, on a multi-day trip to an Idaho lake, the only lure that worked was a brass/gold spoon - and there were none to be had, being all bought out. The first night there, I bought a can of white and one of craft gold spray paint. Primed several spoons with white, then gold and let them dry overnight. Next day, they worked just fine on big brook trout.
Paint won't stay on a spoon long, but for short-term use, it works.
