<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 304391, member: 4654&quot;]I have done a number of antique brass items in the past The best way is to dismantle and strip off the lacquer using methylated spirits and a very fine green scourer, don&#039;t try and remove the tarnish with the green scourer, then get a buffing pad that attaches to a drill or bench grinder and apply a buffing compound to remove the tarnish. Once it&#039;s all highly polished leave it for a week until it oxidizes a little again and then use a spray lacquer that has Garnet finish or slightly lighter maybe lemon or a mixture of both to get the right color, you can buy spray can that has a lid that unscrews so you can fill the container, then you screw the lid back on and it has a pump devise just like a balloon pump under the spry nozzle that goes into the can to pressurize it. Just looked it up and you can use a product called &quot;YOUCAN&quot; that might be easier to find.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
