I have pendant lights with a polished finish. Chrome? Nickel? I'm sure it's not silver, as they were not expensive. I would like to change their color but am unsure how to go about it.

Would any of the oxidization methods from this site provide an antique or black finish?

Thanks

A chrome finish will have a slightly bluish color, while polished nickel will have a slightly yellow color.

You can indeed change the finish of most metals using one type of oxidizer or another. However, I would not do this myself, as it is quite hazardous, and just about every large town in the US has a chrome shop that can do this far better (and usually cheaper) than a DIYer can. Check the yellow pages for "chrome" or "metal."
