Glenn Haege: Ask Glenn 

Dear Glenn: I would like to re-finish (actually paint) the frame on the bathroom shower door.

What type of paint would I purchase for aluminum or metal -- just plain shower doors enclosing a bathtub. It's about 15 years old. It looks aged and discolored from cleaning materials. I also would like to know the best product for cleaning the glass.

Lana, Macomb Township

Dear Lana: I suggest that you give the frame and glass of the shower door a good, in-depth cleaning with Flitz Paste Metal, Plastic, Fiberglass Polish & Paint Restorer.

If you can't find it at your local hardware store you can buy it online. I would seriously consider getting a new shower door. You will never be satisfied with painting the metal frames.

You will find an excellent selection at Michigan Shelf Distributors in Warren (586) 758-5700). Shop quality, not price.
