Brass refinishing
My brass bed needs a lift. I think that this it is brass plated. Could you please give me some tips on how to refinish it. I was thinking of changing it to a pewter look. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Did you find an answer to your brass refinishing of the brass bed? I sure would like to know. I have drawer handles that need redoing of the brass finish/paint without looking dull. Betty

Unlike painting, electroplating cannot be done at home. You can somewhat change the tone of the brass, for probably a limited time, while maintaining the metallic look, with a "Rub'N'Buff [affil links]". Beyond that you would be pretty much limited to paint unless you are willing to send the work to a plating shop.
