A satin black paint applied to a sandblasted surface to give a stable and long-lasting finish.
A dark blackish-brown finish, fairly flat and uniform, protected with a matte lacquer coating.
A subtle olive-brown lacquer coating over a satin-brushed surface that has the elegant appearance of aged brass.

Caring for your Finish
Lacquered and painted fixtures should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth, and very mild soap, if necessary. Never use brass or metal polish of any kind on lacquered surfaces.
Unlacquered Polished Brass can be cleaned with mild soap and polished with brass polish and a soft cloth.
Polished Nickel and Brushed Nickel clean up easily with a little household ammonia and a soft cloth.
