Belated response, but you my friend have the patience of a saint! I bet those hinges look fabulous too. Wanna come over and do mine? 🙂 🙂

Belated response! You know, a coat of poly would probably be an excellent idea. An extra layer of insurance. We’re at the point where we need to invest in “real” handles for the exterior doors, they show the most wear and tear.

Belated response: Yes! Our door knobs are still rocking, but the front door? Not so much. The latch catch plates are scraped a bit too. C’est la vie. I can live with it though, still 100% better and 90% cheaper 🙂

I also did my hinges. I taped them up and then sprayed the spray paint in a small glass bowl. I used a sponge brush and dabbed the paint on, using no brush strokes. Turned out perfect and didn’t even have to take them off my door.

I’ve done this to almost all my handles at home. We have had some issue with those handles which are used more frequently. I will have to do some touch up. Thinking it would be best to put a coat of poly on before reinstalling. I purchased “real” handles at discount for the ones that get used most frequently – at Build.com.

I did the same thing. The results are amazing, but the paint will start to come off with heavy use.
You could always get a little touch up paint for scratches.

Good! I did an update here /2013/04/painted-front-door/ it’s from last April, but the paint is in the same condition. All the interior knobs are pristine. The latch plates in the door frames are slightly scratched from the latches running against them (but only on the doors we frequently open and close, like the bathroom). The exterior door knobs are good. The back door looks great, but the front door is a little rough from being stabbed with a key several times a day 🙂

How is the pain holding up for the gold knobs within your house. Any pictures? Did you paint any outdoor knobs?

Very well! The lock on our front door is the only place that shows real wear, because we jam a key in it several times a day.
