Spray paint is a simple way to give your kitchen cabinet door and drawer handles an updated look. See how we transformed the look of these cabinets by painting the hardware.

  1. Before you begin, remove the hardware from the cabinets and place it on a drop cloth in a well-ventilated space. Cover your surrounding area with kraft paper, plastic or a drop cloth.
  2. Vigorously shake your can of Rust-Oleum Universal Metallic Spray Paint (we chose the color Gunmetal Gray) for one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle. 
  3. Hold the spray paint can upright and 8-12” from surface of your item and apply it in a steady, back-and forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Keep the can the same distance from the surface and in motion while in use.
  4. Apply two or more light coats of spray paint, rather than a single heavy coat, for best results. After applying the first coat, recoat within 1 hour or after 48 hours.
  5. The spray paint will be dry to the touch in 30 minutes, to handle in 1 hour, and fully dry in 24 hours.
  6. Once the paint is completely dry, reattach the hardware to your cabinet doors and drawers.
