I have a beautiful classic Blakes toilet in very good working condition
but fair exterior appearance. It is all made of marine grade bronze and
originally mostly painted and partly chrome plated. I am presently
brushing all the paint off and wondering what to do next.
1) paint again with... what?
2) have everything chrome plated.
3) clean well and leave the bronze as it is.
3) coat the cleaned bronze with a transparent coating. Which one?

Personally I would choose not to paint it in white again but all kind of
advices are very welcome.
