Spray painting linear shower drain

[Custom45]

Morning,
In the process.of fitting a set room shower tray with a stainless steel linear drain. The drain will be tiled in the centre so it's only the trim round the edges on show, they are stainless steel, but the shower mixer etc is brushed bronze.

Are there any suitable ways of getting the linear drain to a matching colour? I was thinking maybe a decent oil based spray paint on it before fitting, or maybe using tile trims to border it?

Cheers

Got a picture.

I've used car spray paint for some projects.

Thanks, it this. The centre bit will be tiled, somits only the stainless steel trim around edge that needs doing.

Can you not get one to match? Or black?

It's a tile-on; I sincerely doubt anyone will notice the disparity if you leave it

Easy enough to get a matching spray paint but may wear with regular cleaning .

A decent thickness of lacquer should help to counter that..

..I just cannot see that it's going to matter. Try it; just tile on the grate and fit it, invite the mother in law round and see if the first thing she says is "oh, the 4mm surround of your tile-on shower drain cover isn't the same colour as the brassware throughout the rest of the bathroom; what on Earth were you thinking?"

My bet is no, but if she does refuse to shower in such a horribly colour uncoordinated room it might be a silver lining, so to speak.

(You could also modify the grate to cut the sides down and shape the tile so it hides them, or try a bronze coloured adhesive tape such as eBay item number 134676342904. If you're really keen, have it powder coated - the cost might change your mind )
