It's not only Pinterest, but this wonderful Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint that is allowing me to easily convert several pictures frames from gold or nickel to a more updated oil rubbed bronze, which matches my current hardware, and is much cheaper than buying new frames! Have you looked at the cost of frames recently? Holy cow.
I took my first frame, sanded it lightly with fine grit sandpaper, and I ended up applying three very thin coats in total. I wish I had taken a "before" picture, but I didn't know how much I would like this finish. I am pretty sure the sanding wasn't even necessary, just a good wipe down to remove dust, etc...
Here it is after (pardon the carpy picture, I need a new camera):
