I ve been working on some major projects and some little ones around the house and have noticed that a lot of my hardware on various pieces around my house wasn t looking so great.
Green door with round handles to paint.
Primer isn t strictly necessary but can help the top coat to stick.
But in the end we decided it just wasn t worth the time in the middle of a top to bottom renovation and we picked up new hardware.
We wanted our door handles to not stand out in the room and to blend in.
Let s be honest when i m working on a piece of furniture and i ve spent hours days.
To ensure no fingerprints are left in the paint allow the hardware to dry for 24 hours.
Guys if you have thought about doing this go for it.
I did a little research and found out the right way to paint hardware.
Spray with a moderate coat of paint and leave it out in the sun to dry.
But back to our pile o removed hardware.
While olive green may not be your first choice for a front door paint color for this white house by rehkamp larson architects based in minneapolis minnesota the shade beautifully works.
After the primer has thoroughly dried spray hardware with metallic paint 7 the home depot.
Be sure the spray paint is intended for metal surfaces and both indoor and outdoor use if necessary.
Interior door hardware however is pretty inexpensive.
While choosing a doorknob color might seem like a minor task it is just as important as choosing paint and furnishings because doorknobs also add personality to your space.

But for bedroom doors that get locked once a day tops the paint hasn t chipped off at all.
Here we have the sliding door hardware along with the doorknob deadbolt and the door knocker from the front door.
Two more features add to this front porch s welcoming appeal.
After it is dry reinstall the hardware on the door.
The after picture of our satin nickel painted door handles.
Rustoleum satin nickel paint primer in one we didn t use any other paint but this one and applied 5 coats to get.
Front door hardware not so much.
Some have chipping peeling orb paint and i ve re coated them already once.
Well most of it was having issues.
You can check out our door painting post for more details on that stuff like how we sanded the paint around the hardware that we removed so it was nice and smooth before painting.
This is the spray paint we bought to update the door handles and it comes in all colors including rubbed bronze if that is what you want.
The moravian star pendant is a lovely decorative accent one would expect to see indoors.
My feeling is that for doors where the handles are used a lot like our pantry door and garage door is opened at least 100 times a day replacing them should be a way to go.
