Need Advice on Refinishing Brass Lamp
Outside
++++++
What is the best way to refinish my Brass exterior lamp outside my
front door? I can see large areas of exposed metal where brass has
worn off. But the lamp still works perfectly. I am trying not to
throw it away. Any suggestions anyone?

Unfortunately you cannot do brass plating yourself, Verlin. Your
choices are to find a paint you like (maybe a brass toned one) or
send it to a plating shop for replating. The latter is likely to cost
as much or more than an inexpensive replacement, and would only be
applicable if the lamp were very high quality, antique, hard to
replace, or of sentimental value.
