<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mill Cove Treasures, post: 125533, member: 60&quot;]Thanks for all the tips and ideas.&nbsp; I never heard of Hammerite, I will look that up. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have used the Rustoleum metal finish paints.&nbsp;&nbsp; I really like it on some things but, not so much for older items. For outdoor furniture it looked great.&nbsp; I used the rubbed bronze and it had a nice, rich finish&nbsp; I used the same color on PVC.&nbsp; Outdoor curtain rods and hardware were absurdly expensive so I made my own out of PVC pipe and PVC pipe hangers.&nbsp; I painted them all with the rubbed bronze and put a coat of sealer on it.&nbsp; It looks just like metal.&nbsp;&nbsp; It worked great on some older planters that were still good but had faded finishes.&nbsp;&nbsp; I used the same rubbed bronze on the base of an old lamp and it was just meh.&nbsp; It just didn&#039;t seem right for the aged piece.&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#039;m going to try some of the cleaning ideas and I&#039;ll let you know how it turns out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any guesses as to who made the glass part of the lamp and when?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
