If they were brass they they would not be rusty, just tarnished and could therefore be re-polished quite easily. I suggest that you just rub them down with some abrasive paper to provide a key for the paint and then paint them whatever colour you fancy.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0 -
Just plated to be honest but I have found some appliance paint in dark pewter which I think will be great0
