Below are the items I used for this project. Any automotive primer and enamel will work. If you choose to spray your faucet indoors make sure there is enough ventilation as the fumes are very strong while painting.

Thanks for the update! These are really important, I wouldn’t start working on a project if I didn’t know how well it keeps
You're welcome
Looks great! I'm sold! I've seen others do this w/o priming or using a top coat and it did not last. I think the extra work paid off. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome. Be sure your primer is Automotive primer. The gloss top coat is also sold at automotive stores like Oreilly. The faucet was also clean and roughed up a bit with sandpaper prior to application. Good luck!
@@moderngreyfarmhouse want to do it can you tell the precautions to take
You can touch up that ding with a black permanent marker...
If you looking for a reliable waterfall faucet. CEINOL will be a good choice.
How are they now as of March 2024?
For that little ding, this is what I do. I get a small craft paint brush, and I spray the paint into the cap of the spray can and you can accumulate a little puddle of wet paint in the cap. Then quickly, before it has a chance to start drying, just use the craft paint brush to touch it up. And especially where that chip is located, you'll never notice. Do the same with the clear coat. Anyway, I'm thinking of doing this, so thanks for the video.
This is a really great idea. I think I may try it!
I want to do this to my tub, it has some plastic parts and metal. Do you think it will work, also how is everything holding up now?
It doesnt have anymore flaws as of now. If the tub is used daily I wouldn't expect it to hold up as well. But if you do it I would be sure to not skip the automotive primer and sealer steps.
Thank you for the update. It looks beautiful but does seem a bit on the fragile side. So, as you said, not recommended for a heavily used bathroom.
If I had a choice of buying a new faucet or spraying one I would go the route of spraying and see how it holds up since the spray paints are pretty inexpensive. I probably wouldn't spray a faucet that was expensive that I plan on keeping. I hope this makes sense. I have seen people have great success with heavily used bathrooms.
Try to just spray on a qtip and apply for your "bald spot".
Great tip! Thank you
@@moderngreyfarmhouse No problem, picked it up on another DIY video. Just remember the varnish!
How are they now, in May of 2022? I am about to embark on the same journey and want to ensure that you still enjoy it and have no damages/regrets
We are still very happy with it
Just touch it up
Really appreciate the update and you’ve done a wonderful job
Thank you
It still looks good. I’m going to do this during winter break. Thanks for sharing.
U can’t legally unload a full standard mag so the whole extended clip really useless 😂
I can’t automotive primer anywhere (offline or online) can you suggest what else can i use as a base coat?
Fyi: i am trying to paint chrome/nickel metal bars of my motorcycle
I was able to find a few on Amazon. I willing them below. I also has success finding it at Autozone where I live locally.

Did you apply clear enamel after you spray painted it?
Yes. It was coated in automotive primer, then spray paint and then clear enamel.
@@moderngreyfarmhouse thanks, I’ve just sprayed mine with rustoleum Matt black and rustoleum primer but did not buy any enamel. I wish I did now
Please can you tell me which black is that? Is it mat black or glossy metallic black?
It’s Rustoleum in what they call “Flat” Black. So it’s a matte finish
Do u think this will hold up well for a bathroom that gets used by one person on a daily basis?
It definitely could. I may do one extra coat of sealer.
I wonder if covering it with resin would make it more durable if it were a high traffic faucet.
Interesting idea!
Looks great!
Thank you
How did the metal on sink drain hold up?. How did you not get paint on the sink while spraying?
They paint is still okay on the drain but we don’t try to dry it often so the hard water doesn’t build up. We taped around it with blue tape then added plastic with more blue tape to cover the sink
Sorry to say I didn't paint the faucet. I chickened out😥👎
@@mariasimonelli9793 it’s understandable.
Was the etching primer green colour ?
The cap on the can did look green yes. Once sprayed it was grey with a greenish undertone.
@@moderngreyfarmhouse ok , Thanks
