ARTE FORM INDIVIDUAL – FINISH X
With such a wide spectrum of different bathroom colours & finishes now available, many designers and retailers experience difficulty in matching certain items to the main bathroom tap colour the clients have selected. With our sister company FINISH X however, we produce complementary colours that can be applied over the chrome product on all sorts of ancillary products.
So, how does it all work?
We require a polished chrome or steel product to start with. We then apply our ‘etch’ and the colour of your choice over the donor product to complement your main colour scheme. We can use a brushed chrome or steel item but the final colour will appear brushed. The brush marks will come through the lacquers we use.
The techy bit
Our unique process involves a unique translucent “etch” primer that bonds itself on to a polished or chrome plated product. Special dyes are then applied that infuse into the primer to effectively and reliably change the colour of the donor product to complement other finishes within the bathroom. The qualities and benefits of chrome are therefore retained providing a durable and long lasting finish. The levels of translucency can be adjusted to provide a high gloss / polished finish all the way to a completely matt finish.
Some examples of what we can refinish. These items were supplied in chrome plated ABS and we have re finished them in the following colours.

Things we can do
- The durable qualities of the chrome plated or polished surface of the donor product are retained.
- Our dyes are translucent and allow the finished surface of the product to show through.
- We refinish chrome plated items that are manufactured from ABS plastic, Brass or Aluminum.
- We have over 40 stock paint formulas that can be used to complement existing manufacturer finishes.
- We can do most RAL colours and achieve some two tone colour effects.
- Our process creates a permanent and hard-wearing surface, coming with a 2 year warranty.
- Unlike PVD finishes, our process offers a natural barrier against fingerprints and other grease marks.
Things we can’t do
- We do not claim to be a colour matching service. We can change the colour of the donor product to one that complements your desired finish.
- We do not hand brush any product, rather we can achieve a satin effect.
- We cannot change a brushed, matt, or satin surface into a gloss finish.
- We can’t make a darker product lighter.
