Outeast1000

I want to change the color of my spectacle frames from Black the Bronze i think there are kits that you can buy where you can do the job yourself  .I would not want to do it this way i would want it done by  somebody who would do a professional job 

Anybody know anymore on the  subject

Most people probably just buy new glasses. 

The rest probably DIY and hope for the best. Not aware of any professional services that do this, and would query whether the charge would make it worthwhile anyway.

Your optician is probably best placed to advise. It's likely the lenses will need to be removed before anything else can be done, and that in itself can weaken the frames.

Any more advice on the subject please

Paint them with nail varnish and be prepared to redo them a few times before you get a finish you are happy with.

Cost/Time of doing the job will probably far outweigh the price of new frames.  An airbrush will get a better result than
nail varnish but the setup will cost a lot more.

You can plate plastic but the cost of that is probably even greater.

Nail varnish and some really fine sandpaper and a few hours getting the finish right?

You're not going to find "a professional job by professionals" by asking in a moneysaving sub forum aimed at crafters.

Is there not an FAQ section on the app that explains it?
