Paint hinges with Rust-Oleum Universal

Because we have limited options when it comes to hardware - particularly hinges - for DIY furniture projects, it's sometimes necessary to make a plan and paint hinges to match the look or style of a piece being made.

 

Additionally, rusty hinges, locks and handles cabinets, trunks and cases can be given a new lease of life with Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer and Rust-Oleum Universal spray paint in your choice of finish.

HERE'S HOW:

1. Where possible, remove the hardware to be painted by taking out any screws. If you cannot remove the parts easily without causing damage, leave these in place and carefully mask around them to protect the rest of the object from overspray. Wrapping them with masking tape or tin foil will do.

2. Place the hardware on large sheets of newspaper and give a good cleaning before you spray. A piece of steel wool and dishwashing liquid will suffice. Wipe dry once clean. If there are any traces of rust, apply a light coat of Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer.

3. Once dry, give the hardware a coat of Rust-Oleum Universal in your preferred colour, making sure to follow the instructions on the can. Rust-Oleum Universal in Oil Rubbed Bronze gives a great 'vintage' effect.

4. When dry, re-attach the parts, or carefully remove masking tape.
