Loved this video! My husband told me I would have to sand the brass before painting it and may feel more confident with my DYI project now that I watched your tutorial. It was a great step by step process explained very well! Also, thank you for the Bible verse: Joshua 1:9! I looked it and love it! PTL!

Hi. I'm very interested in the possibility of using black stove paint on my tired old brass exterior door hardware. I've seem umpteen articles regarding using Rust-Oleum paint for this purpose, but the consensus seems to be that the application doesn't last -that- long. Then someone commented about the possibility of using stove paint on the door hardware (handle, deadbolt.....the works), as it is used on brass fireplaces. Please help me. Thank you in advance.

I really appreciate you guys and the videos that you put out; you have helped me so much as a DIYer. I just did only the firebox frame, and the frame of the glass panel in the last 24 hours in my home. I had a plastic tent from floor to ceiling around the entire area, taped around the bottom of the plastic tent, and a tight seal around plastic at ceiling too. Made sure that the flappers were closed for the doorway. And I still have over spray outside of that tent. I’m a bit shocked. 😫Additionally, I only had an N 95 construction mask, as well as an N 95 medical mask at my disposal. I had paint in my nose despite having both of those on… I did get a respirator mask for the glass panel portion, and the filters are soot black. I am concerned for your lungs that you did all that spraying without a mask on for the video. 😓 And I am shocked that there is not overspray everywhere such as the bookcase in the background that was not covered. Is there a way to spray without any escaping even my extensive efforts of containing it? Which is far more than what most DIYers would do. I invested in a construction fan with a large hose similar to what y’all use for cabinets - bc I will have to do my cabinets in the future; but the plastic that I had was not heavy enough so I was afraid of it sucking my tent down… However I do have it running right now at a window to try to get this toxic air that is still emitting from the tent out. I’m torn as I want to finish the remaining brass pieces/grill right now too; but am wondering do I just stop & wait until it warms up outside in another three months… Or do I just keep going and deal with the additional overspray for the remaining three pieces?… 😢
