Yes! I would suggest taking the door knobs apart and out of the door, and then you can give them a good cleaning/sanding with 220 grit sandpaper, then I would spray them down with metallic silver spray enamel (spray paint). Be sure that you use a respirator mask when using any spray paints to be sure not subject yourself to potential Isocyanate Poisoning! Good luck! -

you can rough sand them, wipe off and spray paint with silver paint. There are many choices now. We love the brushed silver look. It does not show dirt or finger print/hand prints as would the shiny look. -

You'll want to spray paint outside. I love some of the new metallic paints. You might want to use primer (also available in spray) first so you get good coverage. -

You absolutely can. I just did it. I used Krylon satin nickle. It was hard to find (found it in michaels) but the finish is exactly what I wanted. A lot of the metalic paints have like glitter in them. This paint looks just like brushed nickle. -

I would also recommend a clear coat afterward. They come in matte, flat, and gloss. -

Yes! All kinds of good spray paints available at any big box store. Make sure you choose on for metal. -
