What is the procedure to paint on polished brass lamp?
I have 2 lamps made from ceramic and polished brass. The top is ceramic and bottom polished brass. Please give me info on how to revamp these lamps, especially the brass section. What paint, if I have to sand etc. I was thinking metallic paint/spray paint.Something that will stick to the brass I was thinking of black on the bottom section and a different colour on the ceramic as my decor is in red and black. What paint can I used for the ceramic?
since you are going to need to go to your local home depot or lowes, ect. just ask the ppl that work in the paint department there. i worked at sears in tools for a few years and they teach all of the paint employees just about everything they need to know, including how to answer that for ya!

You can use metal paint on the brass and paint for glass on the ceramic. I would use the Rustoleum primer and paint for metal which you can get at the home improvement center. I would use very fine sandpaper so as not to get scratches that will show through the paint. The glass paint you can get at the craft store. I would use both the primer and the sealer that they sell right nearby so the glass takes the paint better and can be cleaned more easily when the project is finished. They even have some dimensional glass paint that you can use to give it texture or a stained glass effect. Since you are using two different types of paint, be sure to tape off well.
