l purchased new oil rubbed bronze fixtures for my bathroom. The problem is Muscle Man that the shower/bath enclosure doors have very ugly, shiny brass hardware Registered User (sliding door track, frame, handles, etc). l swear l once saw a home Joined: Friday, 7th of May 2010, 17:41:45 improvement show where they just painted the hardware (spray paint) to Posts: 1722 update the look. However, when l ask at home improvement places, they tell Viewed 2185 times me that would not work. I'd rather invest $20 in paint and apply some elbow
grease rather than spend $250 on a new door. What might work?

I have sprayed plastic, wood, and metal to match finishes I Goober nut already had. There is a slogan out there that goes, ''If it doesn't move, Registered User paint it!'' Of course you can paint the hardware! Make sure you buy a can Joined: Sunday, 2nd of May 2010, 08:17:29 of spray that goes on metal, mask off the other parts of the door, and Posts: 1500 spray. Even if it only lasts a year, cheap! Just respray. Viewed 6611 times

unfortunately, you are going to have to purchase a new door if Bub you want the metal finishes to match. the cost of having ur existing door Registered User is track, frame, etc., removed & taken to a plating company (this is the Joined: Sunday, 30th of May 2010, 08:53:54 only way the finish would ever stick, paint will absolutely not work) Posts: 892 would be more than a new door. there is no option in the $20 range, other Viewed 8531 times than completely removing the door & getting a rod/curtain to replace it
(if you have tub shower - if its a separate shower, this is not an option)
& that will still be more than $20, since a decent curtain & liner will
cost more than that, let alone a new oil rubbed bronze finish rod &
curtain clips.
