Does it matter what type of silver paint you use?

what did you use for a handle for the sword

As long as the silver paint is dried completely it shouldn't matter what type you use.

For the handle I had some brown leather that I cut into 1/2 inch wide x 20 inch long strip. I wrapped the strip around the wood handle area. For last wrap i just tucked in the end and trimmed off the excess.
I found that I had to epoxy the end of the strip onto the wood. This turned out great. I just tucked it under the previous wrapped layer and let the epoxy harden.
