Sorry I wasn't clear in my last question - if I want to match a stainless steel sink, should I get the polished chrome or the vibrant stainless?

I would probably recommend the vibrant stainless for esthetics. We did have a problem with the brushed finish on faucets from a different manufacturer. It didn't hold up well so this time we bought the chrome. Incidentally, I did something stupid and broke a part of the Kohler fauctet last week. I contacted the Customer Relations of Kohler, and they are sending me a complete new faucet under warrantee after over two years. It speaks well for the company.

I would recommend vibrant stainless as it is the same color as a stainless steel sink (or very close to it. Each manufacturer might vary slightly). It also is brushed to match a stainless steel sink. Chrome is a mirrored finish and is not the same color as the sink. However, it would be a matter of personal preference.

Vibrant Stainless if your sink is mirror finish. If your sink is matte finish, chrome is recommended.

We actually have one chrome and one satin nickel - two different bathrooms. To me, the satin nickel looks the same as the "stainless steel" by Delta. I like both and really like this shower model and it's price too. The satin nickel is better at not showing water spots due to "satin" finish versus the shinny chrome.

I have the Delta Faucet 58467-ss. The finish is a brushed nickel look that Delta describes as stainless steel (ss). The Delta Faucet 58467 is listed as having a "chrome" finish, so I assume that means it is a bright, polished silver. Otherwise they appear to be the same. I liked mine so much that i bought a second one for the guest bathroom.

If I had to choose another finish to go with brushed nickel, I would go with stainless steel. It will be drabber than the brushed nickel, but not too much of a difference.

The sink is not shiny metallic. It's not as shiny as my granite countertops. I'd say it's definitely more of a matte finish. I use a granite sealer on it to make it appear shinier.

We have the brushed chrome and it matches our brushed stainless sink nicely. Gives a consistent look matching sink and faucet. If your going for chrome faucet, chrome would probably work also.

Hi ...these glideRite cabinet pulls are not a shiny chrome finish. More like al brushed nickel. I absolutely love mine... Match beautifully with stainless appliances.

We used Chrome and it looks fantastic. I think it would also depend on the look of your kitchen and the other finishes - For example - lighting fixtures, cabinet handles, appliances.

Brushed chrome would work but why not the stainless strainer? That's the one I used on my stainless sink.

It's in between satin and shiney. I have satin nickle fixtures and it matches fine. It would also go well with brushed stainless and shiney chrome because it is in between satin and shiney. I hope that helps.

Don't know if I can help--I can't say I know the difference. I think polished/mirror since they are shinier than perhaps brushed stainless might be. I just know I love my pots, they are easy to clean, and they look lovely.

i have polished nickel. it looks great, but never again i will have it in my house. i have to wipe my faucets after every use in order to keep them nice and sparking clean. if the water drop dries on it, it creates a stain. my other bathroom has polished chrome. - i can leave it for a week, and after wiping with a wet sponge and buffing with a terry towel it looks as good as new.i used to be paranoid about my polished nickel, but now i clean with flitz once a year and it looks not bad at all. (but i wipe it dry with the terry towels after almost every use). hope this helps

I have a stainless Para and the silver is an excellent match. I also believe it would look good on a black or blue finish.

We have the satin stainless which matches our brushed stainless steel sink and love it! The only thing I am not happy about. the way our plumber installed it, and said it could only be installed this way in our house, is the the soap dispenser just clears the edge of the sink - if I had known before hand I would have had only the faucet installed. Enjoy the faucet, we love it, and would very much think you would enjoy it!

Yes. Simichrome is great for chrome and stainless steel. If you're looking for something inside. Like, say, a stainless steel sink, then I'd go with "Bartender's Friend." It's a powder cleanser. For automotive and motorcycle type jobs this is the best.

It is not a perfect match but this is as close as it can get. There is no other options. If your stainless steel sink is mirror surface, we recommend you use the polished chrome finish faucet to go with it.
