Rustolium Oil Rubbed Bronze
I read about "ORB" on younghouselove and decided to try it out. We were looking to update our fireplace (that we don't use bc it needs to be lined but that's another post! lol) but didn't have a lot of $$ so this $8 can was perfect!
The old fireplace had yucky brick with paint on it and a brick-colored tile hearth that you can't see in the before picture. The fireplace cover and light fixtures were gold and so outdated. So we went to Home Depot and bought some tile (around $70), a can of ORB and a can of semi-gloss paint and a week later we have a brand new fireplace.
Just a warning, this stuff is addicting. You will want to spray EVERYTHING! lol DH keeps telling me to slow down!
Just thought I'd share  Image Attachment(s):

YES! very easy to use...it's spray paint but it has a really pretty finish that's kinda black/brown with a shimmer
for the fixtures - we actually replaced the gold ones in the before pic to brushed nickel last year but i wanted them to match the newly painted fireplace cover so we sprayed them ORB too - we just took the glass part off and taped up where the bulb goes and sprayed 3 thin coats a few minutes apart and let them dry for 24 hours...
since the fireplace re-do, we've sprayed the hardware on the built-in cabinets next to the mantle (you can kinda see in the after pic) and our mailbox. LOVE the stuff!!
