Not too very long ago, I (Vicki) was talking with my 88 year old dad who asked me about a new product by Rust-Oleum. He had been surfing the web and had come across it. He asked if I had ever heard of it. I had not but told him I'd check into it.

Just the very next week on Creator's Studio the very product he was asking about was introduced to the community. The first one hundred people to sign up got a free sample. We are always good with free so we signed up to try it! A few weeks later the product showed up and we got started. 

Take a look to see what we freshened up with ReColor. Watch the video above!

​Here is a link to the product on Amazon.com.

Those are Vicki's parents in the inset picture. The original DIYers! She owes her lifelong love of all things DIY and crafty to them!

The package has everything you need to get started including plastic gloves. Read through the instructions and work outside.

You simply wipe the product on and let dry--it's that easy!

We used it on the front door at Vicki's house. The door faces east so it gets a lot of direct sun and was starting to look a little faded.

ReColor didn't bring it back to the original color but it's good enough that we can delay painting a few more years!

ReColor is especially good on black metal like this door handle. It leaves it a rich, black color with lots of shine.

Steph tried it out on the rim of her fire pit. Much improved as you can see in the picture below.

What we learned: it's a really easy product to use and produces great results especially on wrought iron like patio chairs, tables, and planters.

Vicki tried it on Pyrex. The product is NOT recommended for glass but she wanted to try anyway. It doesn't work on painted glassware, but it did bring back the shine to this faded Pyrex dish. Word of warning: don't use it on a valuable piece as it will probably devalue it in price. But if you want shiny and pretty, ReColor is an option.

This is the first time that I have visited your website. Your video on Rustoleum ReColor was helpful and entertaining. I
have a question. How long does the bad smell linger? I want to use it on my front door but I don't want guests to be off put.

Thanks for visiting! The smell did not last very long.
