This site is really fantastic! I've asked for help 4 times and just can't believe so much great advice is at my fingertips. Here goes another one.....
My front door has a brass handle with a lever and also a brass plate surrounding a round deadbolt casing. I remember looking sometime back for a new handle and found that the template? was an old one and so no luck in changing it out. I believe they said I could buy a new door? Anyway, I'm still working away readying the house for sale and decided to use Brasso and good ole elbow grease to shine er up. I applied, rubbed and waited for it to dry and buffed it out and basically it just laughed at me. I looked on the internet and found a place I could mail it off to be refinished, however, I'm not sure I'd feel real safe using a bungee cord to secure my front door for a couple of weeks until I get it back. I live in a real nice neighborhood but everyone has their limit....
Is there any "miracle" fix out there? Can I buy a gold spray paint or would it chip and peel off in a matter of days/weeks? I don't want to make it look any worse than it already does.
Waiting with baited breath.........
