Painted Faucet & Knobs

A painted faucet and cabinet hardware are easy ways to give your bathroom a budget-friendly refresh.

1. Before you begin, remove all hardware and place it on a drop cloth in a well-ventilated area. Cover the surrounding space with kraft paper, plastic or a drop cloth.
   
2. Shake your can of Rust-Oleum Universal Matte Metallic Spray Paint (we used Gunmetal Gray) vigorously for one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle.
3. Hold the spray paint can upright 8-12” from surface of each item and apply it in a steady, back-and forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Keep the can the same distance from the objects and in motion while in use.
4. Apply two or more light coats of spray paint within an hour or wait 48 hours between coats.
5. The paint will be dry to touch in 30 minutes, to handle in 1 hour, and fully dry in 24 hours.
6. Wait until the spray paint is fully dry before reattaching your faucet and other hardware.
