Bronze Knobs
My brass hardware with a bronze finish is wearing off…how do I reapply the bronze finish?
I remember the clerk at the paint store telling me this could be done. Without going back, can someone please tell me how to do it and what I will need? The most heavily used knobs are now shiny brass instead of a rustic bronze…and those heavily used knobs are all in my kitchen. Maybe I should eat out instead and just close the doors!
If even the factory finish wore off, then you know whatever you do is going to wear off too.
For that reason, I would go with the easiest fix possible. Why spend a lot of time doing it “right” when it’s going to wear off either way?
I would use some craft paints (get at JoAnn’s or wherever) in bronze and copper. Get both because they’re only a buck a bottle and when I did this to my light fixtures I found I needed to use some of each to get the bronze I wanted. Dab or sponge on the paints. Try to keep it smooth so it doesn’t feel “texture-y”. When dry, hit the knobs with a spray laquer to make the finish last a little longer and seal it in.
And eat out more.
