Re: painting brassy shower trim

Is it possible to paint the brassy trim that surrounds my shower doors and corners?  I would like it to be a oil rubbed bronze or even black finish to match the other fixtures in the room.  How do I handle the moisture issue and do I need to sand/prime first.  Thanks.

Can these parts be easily removed? If so, I would recommend a cupric oxide finish, in which the chemistry of the oxiding solution can be modified to produce different shades from green-brown-black. This oxide coating can then be selectively relieved or polished to give an antique oil-rubbed finish. The part would then need to be lacquered to prevent further oxidation.

I was wondering if you completed the shower?  This was very similiar to what I have been thinking of doing and wondered how it came out.
