Chrome Taps

    Hi all,

    What's the best paint to use on my black chrome taps. Over time the edges have lost the black paint cover. Anyone with good advice or recommendations please. My bathrooms unit is relatively new. I know this is a common issue for all bathroom items. Is there a prevention or solution to this issue rather then replacing same.

    A picture might help. The problem I see is where the taps meet the sink and joint between any moveable parts. I think I might want to remove them to paint in which case the obvious question is why not replace them while you are at it. Any paint job is unlikely to be a permanent solution.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    So other than replacing, there is no other solution you would recommend! Seems odd that there is no option thought up by anyone in the trade. Seems to be too easy and expensive to have to just say change them. I'm not convinced and will look into it further. Thanks for your try.

    You can spray them https://www.wikihow.com/Paint-Black-Chrome but I still think you need to remove them and I'm less than convinced they will wear very well.

    Wake me up when it's all over.
