Just spent the day on a project - turned out amazing! My house was built in the 90s, and like everything back then was filled with polished brass fixtures. Between me and my mom / stepdad we cranked out the ENTIRE house painting everything oil rubbed bronze (it's amazing how many doors a house has, maybe 15, then light fixtures, sliding handles, railing supports, etc) . Hardest park was taking off all of the doors (needed to paint the hinges). But all we did was wipe each piece down with an alcohol wipe (to get grease off) then spray paint with 2 in 1 paint / primer. They look flawless, and it really updates the look of the house.
We are hoping to sell within the next 6 months and buy a new house (and my monster aquarium), so trying to do all these little projects to help it sell quick and for lots of $$$. Buying all of the stuff (instead of painting) would have been somewhere around $750. Can't say exactly what it adds to the value of the house, but it looks a ton nicer so I'd say certainly worth it.
