Paint Door Hinge Thick

Remove old paint from the hardware.

Paint door hinge thick.

To ensure no fingerprints are left in the paint allow the hardware to dry for 24 hours. After the primer has thoroughly dried spray hardware with metallic paint. Sometimes sticking paint can be resolved by tightening or adjusting the hinges. I am thrilled to report that the spray paint jobs on all of the hinges and door knobs has held up great even in high use areas.

You do not want the paint to be applied thick or have it caking in the crevices of the hinge because that is when it will chip off once dry. Spray the hinges again with metal enamel. After it is dry reinstall the hardware on the door. Put on a respirator and spray a coat of metal primer on all the hinges using an aerosol can.

Slice through paint buildup around hinges and latches. Avoid putting metal in contact with your pretty new door knobs. Set the hinges in the pot and boil for 15 20 minutes. Make sure to wax the hinges also using a rag that already has some residual wax on it from when the cabinet or furniture piece was waxed.

Then turn the hinges over if you re painting both sides and spray the other side. Of course that is quite easy to fix with paint so we re not worried. Not sure what it means to dry brush. Let the primer dry for 30 minutes to an hour.

The door may stick tight enough to warrant yanking to open it or shoving to securely close it. Spray hardware with metallic primer according to manufacturer s directions. Fill dents and holes with a sandable filler such as mh ready patch. With one exception which is entirely our fault.

Allow two hours of dry time between each coat. Lift the hinges out with tongs and wear gloves as you scrape and buff off all the paint. Apply two coats of oil based spray paint to the metal hinges in the same manner as you did the primer. Fill the pot halfway with water and set it on the stove on high heat.

You ll probably have to fill deep dents twice to compensate for shrinkage.
