I've stripped and painted an entry door. What kind of paint should I use to paint the hinges and hardware?

    Hinge paint is a mixed blessing. Yes it matches, but sooner or later, the paint (or more likely repaint) interferes with the operation. And paint on hinges tends to chip off. Do you really need to paint or could you pick a hinge finish that can work with the door?

Spray paint made for metal. Take hardware off to get a professional look.

  • I use rustoleum. Just do very light coats and spray a good 8-12 inches away. You can always add more coats.

  • Need to really clean before spraying for good adhesion.
