# How to Brush Oil-Rubbed Bronze on the Edge of a Dresser
When refinishing a dresser, you may desire that the edges are finished in oil-rubbed bronze. Oil-rubbed bronze is a finish used on fixtures and has a deep chocolate to gray appearance with copper undertones. The finish can be used on any color furniture. While the paint is often sold in spray paint form, you can use a brush to apply the finish to the edges of a dresser.
