spray painting doorknobs: 1 year later

17 March 2011

Last year I posted that we spray painted 2 doorknobs in our entryway as test for the rest of our house.
April 2010
I’ve gotten 4 emails asking how they’ve held up and….
well, we won’t be spraying anymore:
march 2011 005 1


march 2011 001 1 march 2011 002 1 march 2011 003 1  We primed with bare metal primer, used oil rubbed bronze and then a clear top coat, but maybe it’s because we have 5 kids and we’re extra rough on them? We’ll be replacing our sassy brassy knobs with ones that match our brushed nickel downstairs…
but I just wanted to give you an update.
Sarah @ Thrifty Decor Chick just gave a fabulous tutorial on how to replace doorknobs, so I figured this was perfect timing.
But I’m dying to know if it’s worked for you??
Maybe you have gentle, docile children?
