The doorknobs have got to go!

So here i am sitting on my couch just looking at my room.  ugh , do i seriously have brass doorknobs! Well the more I thought about it the  more it bothered me. I have alot of them on my first floor alone. I knew right away i wanted oil brushed bronze. well I checked ebay and they are fairly priced but to buy that many, well i shouldnt. So i started thinking Spray paint. hmm.  I researched online and found a few sites where people did use it on brass but I couldnt find doorknobs. so here it goes...


     I picked up some Krylon Brushed Oil Bronze spray paint and Ruddy Brown primer spray at Walmart.  The brushed oil bronze did look really dark so i wasnt sure how it would come out.  Here's what I used
 '

  So i took off my doorknobs and all the hardware and brought them to a well vented place. sprayed primer waited about ten minutes and then i sprayed the bronze. After they were dry I noticed it did look a bit dark so i lightly and quickly sprayed the brown primer over all of them in a very small amount and that gave it just what i wanted.
 Enjoy
