In reply to jbhassey. You're welcome! I didn't prime the door handle with sand paper, although that sounds like it is a good idea. And I also didn't use any type of sealer. Our light and doorknob fixtures are under a front entrance roof and have held up well. I hope this helps!

Thank you so much for inspiring me and then SHOWING me how to do this! I will start right away. I have a question though; did you prime the door handle with fine grit sand paper? And, did you apply some kind of sealer? I have not read the instructions on the Rustoleum paint, yet. My door knob is covered and not exposed to the elements with the exception of afternoon/setting sun. Thank you!

In reply to Libby. LOL Don't feel too badly about your 10-years-and-counting back door Libby: we've lived here over 7 years now, and there's still LOTS to be done. And by lots I mean should-have-already-done-these-projects LOTS!

How about this? We have the exact same light fixture and mine looks just like yours did. I’m so glad I saw this on Pinterest because mine needs some serious help. Thank you so much for posting this! I think I need to paint my back door while I’m at it. It’s still that grey steel door look. SMH *10 yrs and counting…

In reply to Marce Hansen. You're very welcome Marce! You will LOVE the results! (And yes: it was the brush-on idea that sold me on doing this project!)

Wow! Thank you! I too, have projects that are in need of “that paint” I did not know that Rustoleum made it in brush on. Yay! I can get a few of these eye sores done before Thanksgiving. Beautifully done. Thanks for the inspiration and easy instructions. First up, is a hideous gold light fixture above dining room table!

I was SO excited when I first saw Diane’s post because I thought there was not hope for our yucky lights too! Thanks, my friend, for featuring this project on your blog – it was a really nice surprise! 🙂

I desperately need to get some of this. My light fixtures look EXACTLY like Diane’s and I thought there was no hope! I’m featuring this when my link party opens up tonight 🙂

In reply to Suzanne J Dean. LOL You are VERY welcome, Suzanne! What you exclaimed above is exactly what went through my head when I first had read my friend Diane's blog post! (And yes, soooo much easier than removing everything to spray paint!) Let me know how it goes!

OMG you just saved me $100s of dollars and the angst of nagging a busy hubby to get it done LOL. THIS I can do…mine may be a bit sadder than yours if we were to put it to contest though 😉 THANK YOU SO MUCH. I’m gonna buy some tomorrow when I’m out and get the job done and I agree…much easier than spray paint for these guys!
hugz,
