How can I refinish this brass lamp stand?

here's a good article https://homeguides.sfgate.com/painting-brass-lamp-base-69463.html

Hi, Albert!

You should be able to prime the base with a rusty metal primer then paint it with spray paint. The rusty metal primer "bites" into the existing surface and allows the paint to adhere to it. I hope this helps!

I have such a lamp I picked up for free a couple of months ago. I just intend to paint it with spray paint.

Rustoleum spray paint made for metal is good, it comes in several shades of brass and gold. I use steel wool 0000 to get it ready for painting.

I would use a good spray primer on it and then follow that up with a spray paint in a color to match your decor. If you want to keep a metallic look, Krylon makes very good ones.

Hi,

I've seen several such projects - take a look through these and see if any are what you are looking for: https://www.hometalk.com/search/posts?filter=paint%20brass%20lamp.

Just scuff the surface to remove any shine and loose particles with a green kitchen scrubby. Rustoleum 2X spray paint for metal. Several light coats will give you a smooth finish. No primer needed.

Of course! Is it only stand or it has working light?

Adding a fresh coat of paint if it working lamp or beautiful candle stand if it is only a stand

Go to an auto store and buy auto spray primer. Then use Rustoleum color of your choice.
