You can paint hardware to match your existing decor colors. It's a good idea to paint your hardware when it arrives because it must be clean and unattached. If you have already attached your hardware, remove it and clean it thoroughly. Metal hardware requires priming with a metal spray paint primer to ensure the new paint sticks. Spray painting your hardware provides the most even coating. Choose a paint designed for your hardware's material. Let the paint dry, then apply another coat of paint. Continue this process until you're happy with how your hardware looks. Wait for your hardware to dry thoroughly before using it.
