My bathtup spout is getting old and discolored (It is silver
colored and
looks like aluminum to me.) I tried to buy a new one, but the pipe that
connects to the spout was too short for the spout (about 1/2 inch to 3/4
inch
too short), so the spout didn't connect right although the threads would
have
fit. I tried lime away and that did not help much either. Therefore, I
am
wondering if there is something like paint or some finish that I could put
on
the spout that would improve its appearance. Any help would be
appreciated.

Most paints will not hold up for long, but may look OK for a short time. Is
the spout worthy of serious repair? You could have it plated.
