Today i am showing you how to update dated brass hardware i am updating my doorknobs from brass to oil rubbed bronze.
Spray paint brass door hinges.
Sand the brass door handles with 400 grit sanding paper.
For the hinges i removed them cleaned well with a deglossing cleaner used spray primer it had a rusty clay color worked well no probs getting it to spray smoothly probably made by rustoleum or krylon then sprayed w the orb the can says it is paint primer in one but i also used a seperate primer as a precaution.
Apply a light coat of oil based spray primer to the brass hinges.
I d debated spray painting the hinges but thought the same thing you did about the possibility of the paint grinding off with multiple open and closes over time.
Remove the brass door handles with a screwdriver.
Repeat process for the opposite side.
Buy rust oleum universal paint primer in one we chose satin nickel.
Spray the first side of the hardware with primer according to the directions.
This is a quick and easy update you ca.
Wipe down the brass door handles with grime boss wipes.
Step 7 flip the brass hinges over and apply a light coat of oil based spray primer to the second side.
Attach the spray paint gun to the primer can.
Allow an hour for the brass hinges to dry.
