Also want to paint hardware off island.
Kitchen hardware paint. Today i am showing you how to update dated brass hardware i am updating my doorknobs from brass to oil rubbed bronze. Soap and water works just fine that s what i use or a liquid cleaner degreaser. This paint is a good choice when you want to control project costs but maintain quality. Remove your hardware from the piece and clean it with tsp wash or a degreaser.
You can use synthetic steel wool i always have ssw on hand and use it for so many things to help get any old flaky finish off if you need and smooth everything out then wipe the hardware down with a cleaner. You can use latex over oil but oil won t adhere well over latex. I really like this stuff. Wait one to two hours for the paint to dry.
When the paint dries you can choose to spray your hardware with a clear laquer to make it more scratch resistant and make your paint job last even longer. Our portable kitchen island is out on back deck under tarp waiting for us to finish painting. Your new fridge is gorgeous also. This is a quick and easy update you can do to any hardware around your house.
An easy and quick update to your kitchen is simply refinishing the hardware on your cabinet doors. Works great dries fast and holds up well. The lacquer adds extra gloss and it protects the paint from chipping. Then spray a single coat of clear lacquer.
Give your kitchen hardware knobs hinges handles doorknobs a new appearance with a fresh coat of paint. This paint is water based but has the characteristics of oil based paint. If the hinges are already painted you may want to strip the old paint. Finally reattach your hardware.
If you have priced kitchen cabinet hardware you know it isn t cheap. While i was in the middle of painting my kitchen cabinets white i had some down time when i was watching paint dry this was a good time to figure out how to paint the kitchen cabinet hardware. Let the lacquer cure overnight before installing the hinges on the cabinet. Inspires me to get off my duff to paint our kitchen cabinets and paint hardware.
Before painting your cabinets you first need to decide whether to use oil based or water based latex paint and primer if your cabinets were previously painted with water based latex paint often labeled latex enamel stick with that. It is really worth the extra step. Behr alkyd semi gloss enamel is a strong reliable self leveling cabinet paint that is found at all home depot stores. Professional looking results require more than simply applying paint however.
