Can you paint the metal on lighting fixtures
l have two wall sconces that are great looking shape/design wise, but they
look dated because of it is gold/brass color. Can l paint the metal parts
of these fixtures?
Yes I have covered a metal lamp with a product called Rub''n
Buff
It can be used on any surface. It comes in a small tube but really covers
alot, I found it at Joanns Fabric and crafts in the paint dept.It was
really easy and not messy at all.But I am sure other stores that carry
craft paints would have it too.
Sure. Clean em good first with TSP (trisodium phosphate), then
cans of metal spray primer, & a compatable top coat spray. You will likely
be taking away from the value of the sconces, but if they will match ur
decor, what the hey.
You might want to consider using an antiquing technique for the finish
coat as well (paint sconce with a dark color after ur primary color has dried, then wipe off the high points while still wet -- looks sweet). You could even go overboard & finish with acrylic accenting using a drybrush technique on the high points?
I haven't trien this. I believe you can pain anything. I
would sand the fixtures or use a bae coat that would seal an then put your
color on.
Yep, they sell aerosol cans of metal paint.
Go look in UR local DIY store 4 ideas & a colour more 2 UR liking.
yes you can but use oil based paint.dont use water based on
metal
