DIY Doorknob Makeover With Paint

You'd be surprised to discover all the things you can totally transform with paint! Like dated metal doorknobs VIA Handle the Heat, for example!

Before





A few weeks ago I was surfing Pinterest and came across a before-and-after picture someone had taken to show how spray paint can makeover your door knobs. I was amazed, but also skeptical. How many "Pinterest fails" have emerged across the internet that show how far-fetched some of these DIY projects can be?! But this particular project is pretty easy to test and if it completely fails one screwed up doorknob isn't a big deal. So on a random trip to the hardware store I felt inspired and decided to pick up a can of Rust-Oleum Oil-Rubbed Bronze Metallic Spray Paint to test out this DIY project on a linen closet door knob that doesn't really matter much. All we did was remove the door knob with a screwdriver, wipe it down with a Clorox wipe, and take it outside to spray paint. I was astounded by how great it looks. That spray paint is pretty miraculous, I seriously don't know how they get those little opalescent glittery specks in there and make it look so multidimensional.
