whats something easy to "restore"

I am looking for something metal. that I can sand down and paint... I am looking for something kind of easy I done a license plate and am looking for something else to do now. I'm looking for something small (I live in a smaller place) and if it has 2 tones of paint I would like it to be raised letters that are another color (I know I am being confusing) like the license plate was blue with white letters. anyway if anyone has any Ideas let me know such as a really old fan or something I've been going to antique stores for like a month now and can't find anything
