Ok, so I am not attempting to turn things into gold...more like turning goldtone metal into silvertone metal. Since my Newport is an historic looking house with a more modern interior, finding appropriate light fixtures has been difficult. I took one of my less expensive light fixtures to experiment on. I first used Valspar Premium Enamel Primer followed by Valspar Odds 'n' Ends Fast Dry Enamel in Chrome. I wouldn't call the finish "mirror chrome" but more a beautiful, crisp silver. It would work well as a mimic for a brushed finish. I didn't expect (or want) a reflective silver finish.

It's perfect.

I have looked for silver-toned light fixtures and they just aren't out there. I've only painted one so far - but yours looks better!

:)
