What a difference that coat of paint made! New hardware for no cost. I had to paint the hinges with a small brush very carefully but it's 5 years and it still looks good so it's a winner.Dogwood Lane Rambleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11325307035803155779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-82094134634013545482013-11-19T10:37:14.885-05:002013-11-19T10:37:14.885-05:00Very clever!!Very clever!!Angela Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288387417097722899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-11206078556846836822013-11-19T09:42:56.637-05:002013-11-19T09:42:56.637-05:00Yes, Paulette, I used Rust-Oleum.

I'm a terrible painter. lol Also be sure to sand lightly before painting to remove any surface coating or dirt. I painted all the gold doorknobs in my house. It worked great!

I want to paint all the interior knobs Satin Nickel, because to replace every door know would cost waaaay too much. From what I've read about the product should work great for your kitchen cabinet knobs. Just rough up the knob with some very fine sand paper, clean it off and spray away ;-)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18347427517712327585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-91241752150195670982013-11-19T01:28:24.146-05:002013-11-19T01:28:24.146-05:00Check out Amazon for knobs.

They are gold :o(( and the actual cupboards are antique white. To replace the knobs with the ones I would like would cost over $200!!
