How do I bring back antique brass sink drain to look like new?

I found this online:

• Routine Cleaning – Running a damp cloth over your brass is really all it takes to bring out the shine. The key is to do it consistently to avoid tarnishing. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can actually damage the brass.
• Avoid Tarnish – Most hardware stores have great products for cleaning your brass. If you prefer a natural approach, vinegar works well. It breaks down the tarnish and makes it easy to simply wipe away.
• Ketchup – Seriously! The citric acid in ketchup helps to break down the tarnish. Gently rub ketchup onto the brass and wipe away with a damp cloth.
• Make Your Own Polish – Simply mix a teaspoon of salt, three tablespoons of flour, and a half cup of distilled vinegar. Rub the mixture on your faucet, let it sit for ten minutes and then wipe it away. Your brass will be clean and shiny again

Maybe brass colored spray paint? I think I’ve seen the color "antique brass" at Lowe's or HomeDepot.

Use brasso it cleans and polishes very well

Sounds like it was brass plated. Jeanne's suggestion of spray paint sounds good. I have used Ace Artistic Finishes as well. It comes in a can and you use a brush to apply. I found mine at Habitat for Humanity for 50 cents a can, but you could check an Ace store near you. If you use this you wouldn't have to take to faucet off to spray, or make some elaborate way to avoid the overspray. L st us know what you do?

* oops! Let us know what you do? Thanks!
