UPDATING my FIXTURES DON'T SPRAY ON! DO THIS INSTEAD! GENIOUS!!!

[@sarahwood3888]

[@kellyr6274]

@@sarahwood3888 😀 good to hear that because I need to do this! I must've been under a rock because I didn't know this could be done 😆

[@murlepeterson6028]

Looking forward to trying this!!

[@llovley]

Do you have hard water? I'm interested in maybe trying something like this. I live in the greater Phoenix, AZ and our water is very hard. So I'm not so concerned about soap scum but more so concerned about what the hard water will do. We get the chunky white-ish colored hard water at the ends of the faucets where the water comes out. I also regularly (once every 4 to 5 months tie a Ziploc bag full of vinegar and water, about a 3 to 1 ratio) over the faucet ends along with my shower heads so they are submerged. I let them soak for about 45 min. I do that to clean the chunky hard water residue and to clean the sink faucet screens of hard water buildup. So I'm concerned what vinegar would do to the paint.

[@kayjay3898]

But didn’t you spray it on? I mean, it just seems like this is way more work. I’ve seen people also use automotive paint spray.

[@pamdavis6604]

I always tape around the fixtures when I spray shower heads and fixtures. Clean cleanup.

[@margaretd3710]

Question: why not use painters’ tape so you don’t have the clean up problem?

I am with you Kelly, not a chrome girl. WOW! Only you would think of a way to use a paint brush on spay paint. Love that idea! The change from the before to the after appears to be 1000’s of dollars of upgrade and it’s such a trendy, yet classic look. In addition to DIY’s you might want consider videos on interior design upgrades on a budget. Maybe call it something catchy, like Oh My! Worthy Budget Designs on a Budget!
