I like ORB, but don't necessarily want black for the color of my kitchen hardware. Do you know if they have a slightly lighter version of ORB that's more dark-brown in color? <br />Thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573500414483396919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-12431217940265932722013-09-29T21:07:44.291-04:002013-09-29T21:07:44.291-04:00Thanks so much for sharing your tips and tricks on...Thanks so much for sharing your tips and tricks online.

I changed my faucet to oil rubbed bronze and then in passing the paint isle at home depot discovered rustolium oil rubbed bronze spray paint, not sure it would work, brought it home. It was work a try and metal outlet covers are $5-12 each to buy. So I used steel whool to sand them a little and four mouths later they still look good, we have even received compliments. I am so glad we did this and didn't have to use ordinary white plastic ones. We saved a lot of money too. I did have to buy a few pics of brown outlet screws....no way was I painting screws!JohnsonTiffanyIrenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14159563074729449312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-72935161671997629022013-09-13T02:19:26.618-04:002013-09-13T02:19:26.618-04:00I have done this as well, and I painted our hinges...I have done this as well, and I painted our hinges - my secret for those is To just take off the top hinge on all your doors, paint them and put them back on, then move to the middle ones and do the sane all the way down then you don't need to remove the doors and it is much easier to put them back onkareenqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06139923197300887979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-8738961821032395902013-09-05T18:13:35.638-04:002013-09-05T18:13:35.638-04:00I didn't know there was this color of spray pa...I didn't know there was this color of spray paint in existence!

They might not hold up as well, and you would probably want to try to take them apart and spray each piece separately. If you don't love your knobs though, it might be worth a try. I would try spray painting just one and see how it turns out. :)LiveLoveDIYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02224434977869141538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-24569111837859954092013-08-02T11:49:07.226-04:002013-08-02T11:49:07.226-04:00Hi Sarah!
