I have actually seen a commercial painting contractor go into a large office and paint desks and file cabinets in place to change the office color scheme. They used a system called electro-static painting, which involves connecting a source of low voltage electricity to the metal items to be painted, and spraying an opposite charged paint. The paint adheres amazingly well to the charged items, and nothing else. That leads me to believe a commercial painting contractor might be able to help.
