Refinishing a King Trumpet

+++++++

Hi I would love to refinish my trumpet. It is a Bb ^ ^B-flat King. I got it off eBay for 140.00. This Trumpet is in excellent shape. There are no dents. Most of the finish fell off though. I want to get it refinished silver or gold but but at an inexpensive price. If it is possible I would like to refinish the trumpet at home. People in my Band are making fun of me and I cant blame them. (even though it does get annoying)

Thank You

You can go to an automotive or hardware store and buy a can of brass metallic spray paint and spray it yourself.

When I first read your post, I thought it said BB King. It is actually a B flat King trumpet. Silver plating is absolutely not a home project, especially on something as large as a trumpet. For a quality job, send it to a professional. PS, it will cost less to have a professional high quality silver plate than it would cost to set up the silver tank at home. Then you would have a disposal and a hazard in your garage.
