I am going to spray all the bright, shiny chrome in my bathroom this beautiful bronze. I noticed you said you couldn't find the Rustoleum AA ORB anymore. Now it might not be the same thing, but I found some at my local Wal-mart. It is a white can now, not the yellowish color. If you are still looking, hope this helps. :)jodibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00880664851308175821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402694134300866275.post-83940238011522750812013-10-26T03:13:39.509-05:002013-10-26T03:13:39.509-05:00Now I am selling another house with the same issue...Now I am selling another house with the same issues and am looking for more of this great paint. <a href="http://www.perfectpicturelighting.com/battery-operated-picture-lights.php" rel="nofollow">Battery Led Picture Light</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115941918048786551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402694134300866275.post-62066380161915818142012-07-29T08:14:26.353-05:002012-07-29T08:14:26.353-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10902999761991586595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402694134300866275.post-39177225864922114592012-07-29T08:14:03.184-05:002012-07-29T08:14:03.184-05:00Can be found at Amazon, too :) *THANKS* for this!...Can be found at Amazon, too :) *THANKS* for this!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10902999761991586595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402694134300866275.post-6716071402840825972012-05-29T11:36:16.080-05:002012-05-29T11:36:16.080-05:00Just found your blog, like you said, by searching ...Just found your blog, like you said, by searching "oil rubbed bronze spray paint."

We upgraded our master shower to a frameless shower door and my lovely wife decided to go with oil rubbed bronze hinges and door pull. I had no idea what that small decision would mean at the time. To summarize, I painted 66 hinges, 22 door knobs, 22 strike plates, front door knocker, front door kick plate, door bell, over a hundred screws, all the light fixtures, including the dining room, 4 sets of bathroom fixtures, 8 drawer knobs and 2 shower frames. It took me almost a month to complete the project from start to finish. Prepping the metal took the most time and I used a bench grinder with a wire wheel brush. The brush is about half the size from when I started. I sold my house right after finishing the project and the comments were amazing from the Realtors and people that looked at the house. I used 12 cans of primer and 12 cans of Rust-oleum ORB. Now I am selling another house with the same issues and am looking for more of this great paint.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14567267449867421085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402694134300866275.post-75089766569030142232010-06-18T07:25:30.399-05:002010-06-18T07:25:30.399-05:00That's how I found your blog! :)

They only sell this as a set of 6 full 11oz cans for $33.42. That is $5.57 a can! Shipping is very reasonable too!<br /><br />While this paint is hard to find at many retailers, it is definitely NOT discontinued by RustOleum, and in fact, has been expanded into two more of their lines: Stops Rust part # 248636 and Universal part # 249131, The Universal version is formulated to also be used on plastics which the other two versions are not.<br /><br />Love your site!

I ordered it from www.hardwareworld.com - and they sell it in sets of six 11 oz. cans for $33.42, which is about $5.50 a can. With shipping the total cost was $40.12, a lot less than the Amazon price of over $11 per can! Also, I left a message to ask a question, and Sandra called me back and said that she had personally called Rust-oleum and they said they have not discontinued this item - it's one of their most popular. She said they just changed the label and improved the nozzle to make spraying easier. So good luck and thanks for all your tips.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402694134300866275.post-29779840929799149882009-09-19T16:12:14.515-05:002009-09-19T16:12:14.515-05:00Great post!
