Can I coat copper rings that were shiny silver until the silver disappeared? Will it shine?

Hi Carole, The Sargent paint is acrylic water base so if you are painting over anything other than water based acrylic I would recommend a primer coat. The Sargent paint had a very nice metallic shine once dried. I have 5 of their metallic based paints in blur, red, copper,silver and gold and all have worked wonderfully on canvas, wood and primed metal. If being used outside or around water you should finish with a water based water proofing sealer. Hope this helps. Ed Huffine EAH Abstracts

best to leave the copper countertop, bare. just polish it occasionally with "Brasso" (copper and brass polish). I doubt any coating is gonna be good for a countertop. Unless the countertop is not going to be used or have any items sliding on it. If it's not going to be used at all, this clear paint for brass will work fine. I used it on a solid brass door handle set of our Pella brand, storm door. After polishing the door set, I coated with 3 light coats. exposed to all weather, after 2 years, it still looks good. No tarnish or oxidation under the clear coat.

I would never chance it. There are silver polishes that work like a charm. I only use this on my copper.

I doubt it, but in my experience, if you keep your silver wrapped up, it doesn't tarnish fast. The more you can protect your silver from the chemicals in the air, the less likely it is to tarnish. These work well for me.

I don't think that it would really be "silver" if that is the color you are looking for. This gives more of a "shimmering" light effect. It is quite subtle. If you use it on a colored frosting, it will be more noticeable than on white or ecru frosting.

They only affect the silver and keep it from tarnishing. They do a great job at it too. Thanks for asking.

I have only used it on copper rings, so I am not sure about stainless steel rings.

I do! Yes! I absolutely soak my gold/platinum & diamond even my fancy colored diamond jewelry overnight. I have even forgotten about them & left in them in their for a week & they shine up like a brand new penny! Do not leave silver in it though, it causes the solution & the silver to change color & dull.

Yes, the finish is burnished silver, more commonly known as brushed nickel. If the fixture were silver-plated, it would be an order of magnitude more expensive. The exact alloy the fixture is made out of is not listed.

Hello, Yes, you can use this on copper. But I think you'd be better off with Krylon Crystal Clear Rust Protector clear gloss acrylic spray. It's a little harder and dries faster. I have never used either on a table top, mostly on smaller areas of ceramics or jewelry. I don't know how well either would hold up on a table top if the surface gets a lot of use and it would probably not resist marks from hot mugs, etc. Surface also must be completely clean, with no traces of metal polish. It also might be hard to get an even spray cover over a large flat surface area. But I can't think of anything else that might work, except maybe Deft clear gloss brushing lacquer. (You have to work very fast wit this, and wet-on-wet.) Good luck!!

This product is CITRIC ACID, so it will react with the copper by removing the oxidation (much like a lemon will "clean" a penny.) I would NOT use this product if your copper fixtures have a special finish or patina that you would like to preserve. Cheers!

This product is an excellent copper CLEANER. But if you want to preserve the copper-color finish, you'll probably have to find a different product. I know that when it comes to copper hardware (handles, doorplates and the like) you can use a wax or lacquer to preserve the color. I don't know what you could use on a sink; I suggest you contact the manufacturer and see if there is a specific sealer available.

These are not coated with anything. As a result, they will discolour with normal use. A little bit of Wright's Copper Cream will polish them back up.

Well I guess it depends on the look you're going for. I used it for all of the solid brass door knobs in my house and they stayed looking freshly polished for over 6 months. I was actually hoping they'd start looking a little more aged again sooner than they did. After about 7 months they finally started getting that brass color back as opposed to a super polished gold color. Now they're looking better than ever! But all it would take is a quick rub down with a tiny bit of product to get it looking super shiny again it thats what you're going for.

You could give it a try, i was able to turn a brass bullet casing silver just to see if it would. It may be kind of difficult to work the Nushine into all the little areas there are on a chain, it takes a lot of polishing with the product to get something with no silver color tint in it to start to turn silver.

These mugs have a clear, tarnish resistant lacquer finish on the exterior surface which should keep mugs used for display shiny & tarnish-free for years. However, kitchen grease, splatters, etc. may eventually degrade this finish. If that happens you'll need to scrub the finish off and start polishing them to keep them looking shiny/tarnish free. However, many people actually prefer the patina that aged copper gets to the shiny, new appearance.

Hi Paolo- yes, these mugs have a lacquer coating which we apply to protect the shiny copper finish. Please let us know if you have other questions.
