KMS Woodworks on Aug 12, 2013Is it Stainless Steel? I have always loved the look of a "brushed" finish on stainless. This can be done with sanding in a uniform direction. Differing grits will yield differing appearance. The finer the grit the more "polished" the look. 150 grit is a good starting point.Helpful Reply

The Garden Frog with C Renee on Aug 12, 2013From the pic, I would clean it up with a good cleaner and then spray paint it with Rustoleums Hammered spray paint. I have used this on bathroom fixtures, light fixtures and even table bases. I would prime first then paint to make sure you get a good adhesion. The hammered spray paint covers any flaws and it not a seamless spray so any mess ups you cannot tell!Helpful Reply

Sia@South 47th on Aug 12, 2013Give it a really good cleaning, then sand. Then you are ready to paint in whatever suits your decor or look you are going for. Textured paint will indeed cover flaws. Be sure to show us your "reveal"!! xoxHelpful Reply

Z on Aug 12, 2013It's hard to tell from the pictures, but my guess would be a good cleaning and polishing with Brasso. http://www.homesolutionsnews.us/brassopolish/ for more information.Helpful Reply

Eileen Stablein on Aug 13, 2013Why not gold leaf the bottom and then etch the glass with a delicate pattern of flowers of something to your liking. EileenHelpful Reply

Jean DeSavage on Aug 15, 2013Depending on your budget, look in the phone book for "powder coating" This is actually not terribly expensive. They give it an industrial cleaning, and then use a special powder coat "paint" that is then baked on. They have all kinds of colors and finishes available. This is a very durable finish and lasts a long time.Helpful Reply
