You can use a deglosser on the hardware, but at this point I would probably just sand or lightly scuff up your sprayed hardware, spray on a primer coat (Kilz is the best), then two light coats of the gold and then a light clear coat on top. Rustoleum makes a great clear coat.<br /><br />Hope that helps!<br />xoJenny at LGNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425576060240501896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-41562121973543688242013-09-23T15:01:19.087-04:002013-09-23T15:01:19.087-04:00Hey Jenny!

Quick question - I used this exact spray paint on my hardware and have been having a lot of trouble with it scratching and coming off. Do you have any tips for keeping it from doing that? I didn't even put the knobs on for several days after painting to be sure it dried. Is there a top clear coat that would seal it better?<br /><br />Thanks!!<br />Sarahssshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09989520598785807791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-78162257490546730222013-07-29T14:09:16.296-04:002013-07-29T14:09:16.296-04:00Hi Jenny,

You're the second person this week who has told me they've used this brand and the gold looks so good! When you first posted I thought some of the hardware was the Martha, because the color looks so similar. Thanks for being the guinea pig! :)Gwen, The Makeristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190034624015945227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-2330974351476428242013-07-24T22:39:29.513-04:002013-07-24T22:39:29.513-04:00i hate michaels. i hate michaels.

Is this simply due to an inferior product? I've sprayed cords on string lights (made of plastic) and metal. Or should I be adding some kind of top coat?<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />CRthatramongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01878382349918179417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-65695252070990185212013-07-24T12:20:00.139-04:002013-07-24T12:20:00.139-04:00... my apologies.

But if I know I´ll be gold´ifying some insanely high traffic knobs or things where my son is likely to smudge remains of play´doh, dinner or whatever, I always make sore to lacquer the hardware before installation. There are lacquers varying from high- gloss to matt finish. For a clean freak like yours truly, I always go for the high- gloss for better wipeability. One can also polish them to insane levels of shine.
