gold shower fixture

we have a 2000 Winnebago UA and are trying to do some updating to it, the shower has gold fixture and wanted to know if anyone has replaced or painted it. any suggestions...thanks
  • Probably one of the cheap plastic Phoenix faucets. Four screws, two hoses and maybe 20 minutes of your time to replace. Oh yea the important part, maybe 25 dollars at any RV parts store. Usually available in white, chrome, and brass look.
  • I am sorry, I must have not been clear on the fixture part, I am talking about the gold that is around the shower glass.
  • You CAN paint it, but it may chip, crack or peel. Tape it off, sand the gold and use some Krylon paint of whatever color you choose. But, just so you know, gold is making a comeback, so if you wait another year or two, it may be back in style again.
  • LMAO, I had to come read to see what type of "fixture" you had for the "gold shower". :E


    On edit, I'm glad it's not what I thought.

    I'm sure there's a forum someplace for that too!
  • Go to a glass store that installs shower enclosures and have them build you a new one

    This will be your best bet. We had a local glass shop make a new brushed nickel shower enclosure for our coach. It was not inexpensive but it was far cheaper than ordering a new one from the original coach manufacturer.

    Yes it's called "around the campfire"

    I have read that heavy duty easy off oven cleaner will take off the gold finish. It's done in one foot sections by spraying it on waiting awhile and wiping off not letting it dry.
    Then hit it with steel wool and comes out looking like brushed nicke.
