I am remodeling and need to convert my brass plated door knobs to a bronze finish.

1) Does anyone know how to get these refinished w/a bronze look?
2) Is painting, coating, or plating a solution?
3) Would it be better to just buy new door hardware at ~$25/knob?

Thanks in advance for your help!

It's possible. It's a waste of time. Inexpensive sources of lock sets abound.

Welcome to the forums!

Paint won't hold up!!!

While plating might be an option, I doubt it would be cost effective.
