use brasso you can buy it from any ironmongery store and all you have to do if buff it .

cunning one to clean, if the paint is a gloss base you will have to try and chip it off, but if its an acrylic or emulsion you could try hot water and soap explication. Once all the paint is removed use Brasso to get a good shine. Good luck

do you be aware what kind of paint?
if it is a water based paint use acetone
if it is a oil base use mineral spirits

if the drunk is Latex, use Alcohol, or use Goof Off- rub it on and let it soak, it will come off.

Oil base try Turpintine,

A cosmetics stripper & READ THE SAFETY POINTS ON THE CONTAINER. If the smallest splash gets you in the eye it will be extremely hurting. Wear gloves & goggles and have a bowl of water handy just in case you get any splashes of stripper on your scrape.
Apply the stripper with a small paint brush (1") that has pure bristles and deviate from for the reccomended time. You will notice that the paint will begin to blister & become soft but leave a bit longer so the stripper can vocation as deep as it can but dont let it dry as it will harden and you will have to reapply further stripper. For this reason, work on a couple of section at a period. It may take 2 applications depending on how many coats of paint you are trying to remove.
While the paint is in this soft, blistering ceremonial, scrub/rub it of with a scrubbing brush, stipple brush, old paint brush or steel wool.
When you have finished stripping (the enamel of course) wash the chandelier with warm soapy water. Do not try this while the chandelier is still hanging from the ceiling, take it down and do the job on a bench or the floor.
Please dont fragment it off as suggested as you will mark the brass.It sounds like a nice object & it is worth doing the job properly.
For the buffing & polishing the main ingredient is elbow grease.
May I insinuate that when you have finished the polishing that you apply a coat of Staybrite or another similar coating to prolong the shine so that you do not have to sheen it too frequently.

If it new emulsion describe youve recently splashed on it, hot soapy water and a toothbrush will do it. Carefull of wetting internal wires as they may be the old fabric covered ones.

If it not very chiefly take it to a pine wood stripping yard and have it dipped, it would be quite cheap and faster than doing it by turn over submit.
As New brass has a layer of varnish to stop it corroding so after polishing paint 3 coats of varnish, Coloured varnish can look momentous.

How do I refinish or paint a brass chandelier?

Apr 22, 2006 by srgmom | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)


It is a bit dated and would like to switch it..not keep it as is.
Not wanting to actually use it as brass....wanting a different look as in painted.

I Predilection repainting old ugly crap and turning it into something that looks more like my taste. I just did it with a dark immoral Ethan Allen dining room set. The results were amazing!

Anyway, there is this new primer out now that adheres to ANYTHING! It is called "Gripper" by Glidden. You can brush wood, glass, metal. Anything. You dont have to sand it or anything. It's awesome. That might be your best bet. Just earn sure that your chandelier is clean and free of loose dirt and grease. Then, paint away! Once it is primered with this daunting stuff, you can use any paint you want for the color.

When you're done, use a polyacrylic to seal it if it is a light color. If it is a ignorant color you can use the polyacrylic or polyurethane.

And if you think of it, send me before and after pictures! I love to see transformations! :)

Good fluke.

How can I update my brass chandelier? (Thinking of paint)?

Mar 07, 2006 by NadiaLight20 | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling

Would like to (drag out) paint it. Any suggestions of types of paints or how to go about it?

Be trusted careful polishing brass. Many times it is only plated and polishing can cut through the brass to the underlying metal. Also most brass in light fixtures is protected by a thin film of lacquer. Polishing can eliminate some of the film and then then brass will tarnish.
