The Easy & fast way to Paint Doorknobs
First off you need some beautiful dated gold doorknobs to paint
The Supplies
Auto primer
Brushed Metallic- oil rubbed bronze
Protective non yellowing clear finish
total supply cost-- around $8
Step 1
- Lightly sand the doorknobs- (It really is pretty easy to scratch the lovely gold finish so this step isn't as painful as you'd suppose except when you have a lot of doorknobs than it gets pretty darn boring)
Step 2
-Spray Primer
Step 3
-Spray color
Step 4
-Spray protective finish
Yep it pretty much doesn't get any easier than this
plus $8 isn't bad for all new doorknobs-
Also since I did some test knobs 8 months ago I can tell you that they hold up great and still look like new.

ReplyDeleteI saw your blog on the knock off wood facebook page and am so glad to pop over. Such nice projects! I'm book marking it now.

WOW, What a great DIY post! Your blog is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGreat tips! The knobs look amazing. I think it's pretty amazing to type like that too. Someone told me that the days are long but the years are short. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your projects. I LOVE your farmhouse table. It's why I keep coming back. One day I will take the plunge and try to copy yours. I even found some chairs on KSL...I'm just afraid. I want it an 8 seater but I'm not one to improvise with the unknown. Seeing your door knobs, child bed (I need 4), and hooker chair make me excited to tackle the projects. Just to dive in...how?!?
ReplyDeletePlease keep the inspiration coming.
LOVE this! I cannot stand the brass in our house! YUK! I need to show this to my husband asap! Thx for sharing!

ReplyDeleteHi-
ReplyDeleteWhat did you create to hold the knobs in place?
I'm in! My poor hubby...his duties are never done...tee hee hee!!
ReplyDeleteSpray painting small door knobs kind of accessories is the most easiest way to get over with a new paint. Although, you need to thoroughly clean the door knob with oil or something so that there is no dust left on its surface. Also, get the door knob checked regularly from a locksmith so that it stays in perfect working condition.
