Has anyone got any suggestions for painting the bronze parts that lasts more than a couple of months. We have tried white hammerite which look great initially but starts to flake off

They are bronze. Let them behave like bronze.
Hiowever, I would rip the bloody old museum piece out, sell it to some idiot on ebay, buy a modern toilet and buy my wife a really good consolatory present out of the profit or take her to Paris on a glamorous weekend jolly.

I agree with the why paint it bit of the last post, but little else. The baby blake is a fantastic field maintainable piece that will never stop working. That said, the sight of the skipper stripping the very dirty pump in the galley sink mid atlantic last year gives me bad memories still.

A £1800 toilet, and you need to paint it?

Are we talking artillery pieces here or boat bogs?
If the sodding thing doesn't work, you pee into a bucket and chuck it over the side. in extremis, omit the bucket. These dinosaurs are in the very worst traditions of our worst public schools. they are for feco-snobs, dwellers in human bodily functions and bad-fitting-bronze gadget fetishists. You could fit a new Brydon every six months for a decade AND still have change (& what is more important, a redundant maintenance toolbag) for the same money.
Only one thing worse - a Blakes seacock!

Should have said the baby blakes are 25 years old and were already painted when bought boat - just a maintenance question really
