Refinishing chrome bathroom
fixtures to brushed nickel [Michigan]
++++
I am a homeowner and I have just finished a small
bathroom remodelling job. I have a chrome showerhead and
bathtub spout I would like to make look like brushed nickel.
I have seen a product that can be applied-almost like
paint-to metals to give those items a pewter look. Is there
a product available to apply to these chrome fixtures to
give them the brushed nickel look? If not is there another
method that might work? The plumber will need to go through
a wall to replace the faucet and I would like to avoid that
since nothing is wrong with the faucet, showerhead or
bathtub spout-they are just the wrong finish now that I have
changed the sink faucet and other bathroom accessories.

That is not how brushed nickel is made, Darryl, and most
things will not stick to chrome. You can try to apply some
sort of lacquer or paint to obscure the reflectivity and add
a tint. It probably wouldn't last long, but you could try
Rub 'n Buff The Original Wax Metallic Finish
 [link is to product info at MisterArt]. Good
luck.
