    Krylon spray paint works great on metal.  I've used it on all kinds
    of surfaces, baskets, metal file cabinets.  I even re-did my kitchen
    with it.  I found these terrific 1970's metal lab cabinets with
    drawers, cleaned them up well and spray painted the drawer fronts.
    (sanding any drips with 1500 grit)  The paint job is holding up very
    well after two years. 

    Krylon for metal.  You won't have any trouble. 

    Ah, I read again and you want snow.  Buy some of that "Stone Fleck"
    paint that they sell in the spray paint aisle to make your trees
    bumpy.  Then after that dries, paint over it with a white spray
    paint.  Then, if you still have time, check the craft store for an
    iridescent spray if you like, and spritz that here and there. 

    Another advantage of spray paint is that it dries very quickly,
    which should help you get your project done on time.
