It sounds like the tenants are not complaining about it?
Is it dripping?
Man if I worried about this type of stuff in every unit, I would go off the deep end.
However, when we do change a fixture we don't put the cheap ones in. As the saying goes "pay me now or pay me later" when that cheap one leaks and drives up the water/sewer bill.

Don't buy non-metallic faucets. Try to find things on clearance when you're in a store anyway, especially if you have multiple rental properties -- you'll need it later. For example, I bought a $16 faucet which was on clearance and wound up needing it 2 months later.
there is something called "Rub n Buff" that is a wax based based product that you.... guess what? Rub on and buff. It comes in several metallic shades. I've used it on a light fixture - fixture was brass, everything else in the room was nickel color, worked nicely to make the light fit in. Don't know how durable it would be on a faucet though. You would probably have to venture into a hobby store to get the stuff though.
It depends on how much you pay to replace a faucet. If you can get a new faucet for $20 or less, is it worth your time?
Can't replace all of them. Labor costs of a handyman here are too expensive to justify the cost of replacing all of the faucets and bathroom light fixtures right now.
A little touch up paint is way cheaper if such a thing for faucets exists. There's not that much paint off.
I've used some of the oil rubbed bronze spray paint to paint door hinges. I lightly sanded them before spraying. I was surprised how good they looked.
Just make sure you let the paint completely dry in between coats.
Might be worth a shot.
Cool. I might try to spray paint the light fixtures and door knobs.
I'm not skilled enough to remove all of the facuets without damaging them, but might try to concoct some way to spray paint then with plastic bags to protect what I don't want painted (the sink).

No complaints, but I want to fix it. One faucet has a dime size amount of paint off on the front. The light fixture has "worn" looking edges all over where the gold finish wore off (due to bathroom humidity, I'm guessing).

Nice! Never heard of it, but I'll have to try to find it. It it would work on light fixtures, that could help modernize my place a bit.
