Ive recently started making (jewelry) rings out of old bearings, and i thought it might be nice to paint some. But i have no idea what kind of paint i should use that both hold well on metal, yet is 100% skin friendly etc.

Plate them with some kind of metal. You can easily obtain zinc or nickel from coins. These are going to be more skin friendly than most paints.

No, those will react with your skin. Often times they turn skin green.

I'd suggest powder coating them if possible.

You could make them out of aluminum and then anodize them.

Powder coat it about the only thing that will be durable enough for daily wear.

Cerakote is much tougher than generic powdercoat and is proven on thousands of weapons.
