On a roll - also just swapped all door hardware in my house with rubbed bronze

PS Here's the ebay link (also at amazon) to this brand. They have 4 or 5 styles so pick the one you like the best.

THey're on amazon too, but cheaper on ebay because the seller will let you order everything you need and then one $5 flat shipping on top. Amazon charges $6 shipping for each knob.

BONUS: they come with a allen wrench to reverse them so that saves money or your head from exploding trying to make sure which way they need to go on your doors.

Im confused. You spray painted new knobs in oil rubbed broze paint?

Eta - I get it, you sprayed the hidges only. I was gonna say thats a really bad idea to spray paint your knobs.

I wouldn't complain about shitty builder grade doorknobs while you're spray painting hinges.

And your oil rubbed bronze is going to rub off. I know.

And now you've caught up with the trend that was hot 10 years ago.

I just painted the hinges and no.. Nothing will rub off because they never get touched.

Thanks for a reply that added nothing to this thread.

Why? The hinges are great. Just the wrong color. A $2 bag of 000 steel wool to scuff them up a bit and hit both sides with the rubbed bronze spray.

Protip: just remove the hinges one at a time to paint and you dont have to remove any of your doors which makes the process even easier.

I left out my front door for that exact reason. Still researching it.. What do you like about that one?

Yeah I spray painted my kitchen cabinet hardware and couldn't be happier with the results. It took me a summer to redo the kitchen, but all in all, I did it for under 1k. I'll snap some photos and post them in another thread. The before and after is pretty substantial, maybe it will help someone else before they rip out cabinets and waste money.

how does that spray paint look. I am having a hard time finding the correct hinges for mine. You are correct, the pulls, handles, and knobs make a huge difference.

That paint looks awesome. I work for a door hardware supplier and have an electronic keypad lock on back door. It was brushed chrome and my wife wanted to do it in bronze. Told her I would get a new one but one day about 6 months ago she took it off and sprayed it with this type of paint. I had my doubts, but it looks exactly like mfg bronze version of the lock. Actually had the factory rep at the house (also a family member) and he says "when did you order the bronze keypad".... He was shocked when I told him it was spray paint. So far it has not rubbed off any....Not to say that it won't eventually. But it's going 6 months strong and is the only door we use to enter/exit the house so it gets a ton of use.

Also built a shed outside and instead of buying the more expensive bronze hinges & latches for it we bought standard SS and sprayed it. It looks perfect as well.

But like I said, I'm sure one day it the parts that get touched a lot will eventually start to rub off but as for now it's good to go. I would definitely recommend for anything that doesn't get touched often. The quality & color of the paint is great.
