Brushed or satin nickel paint

I want to refinish some existing hardware into a brushed or satin nickel paint finish. Does anyone know if there is such a product and where I could purchase this paint?

That finish is not paint, Sally, it's electroplated nickel and you can't do it yourself. You would need to send the hardware to a plating shop for nickel plating. But you could try aluminum paint or some other paint and see what you think.
