Remove the old accessory from the wall.
Roughen the surface of your metal or ceramic with a green pad or extra fine sandpaper (220 or higher).
Wipe down with a deglosser.
Set up a spray painting station with a binder clip. Prop toilet paper roll holder upright in clip.
Cover all surfaces with the spray bonding primer. Let dry.
Use spray paint in large sweeping motions. Let first coat fully dry.
Repeat for 2-3 coats making sure you fully are covering the holder and other accessory parts.
Let part dry overnight before reinstalling in your bathroom.

Take apart the toilet paper roll holder. Spray all parts separately for the best finish
Shake the can well before starting and do a test spray to make sure the spout is clean.
Use thin coats when spraying.
The primer is optional as you can also just use a spray paint with a primer built-in.
Use large sweeping motions when spraying. It is best if you start spraying right before the item and stop past your item. This will stop large droplets from landing on your hardware.
Hold the can at the right distance: Hold the can 8 to 10 inches away from the surface you're painting. If you hold it too close, the paint may drip or pool, and if you hold it too far, the paint may not cover the surface evenly.
