Can you spray paint brass bathroom faucets.

We took the sink faucets off and lightly sanded them and then spray painted them with a textured flat black spray paint. After cleaning with vinegar and sanding simply spray them with two or three coats of clear lacquer. In your case i would try to take down the fixture if you can since you will need to worry about protecting your ceiling with lots of plastic drop cloth. Let the first coat dry for about 30 seconds then spray on another coat to get a super smooth finish.

Usually on non metal items i wait longer between coats but to get a nice smooth finish i have found two quick coats do the job perfectly. If you already like the color of the faucets you don t have to paint them. Because spray paint is such a fine mist it dries quickly in the air. The total cost of refinishing your faucets should be less than 30 whereas a new faucet is likely to cost 100 to 200 or more.

If you paint too thickly you ll end up with drips that you will have to sand out plus those areas will scratch and flake. With cabinets or a vanity in espresso a faucet. If you re just painting a faucet there s no need to cover the entire room. Once it floats a few feet away it just falls as a dust that can be wiped up.

I didn t use spray paint i used a brush and hand painted mine since i didn t remove the faucets. Next i taped around the faucets with frog tape and used bags to protect the sink. The key here is to do a very light coat. You can try mineral spirits to remove the overspray but i wouldn t use spray paint unless i removed the faucets.

I always go from left to right and back again using short even light sprays. Hi tonya i m so sorry. You can spray paint bathroom faucets. If you re up to the challenge i say go for it.

But you could also use black spray paint if you preferred totally up to you. We used krylon outdoor textured finish to give it an iron look. With your paint can about 6 8 inches away start spray painting.
