Nickel Cabinet Knob

Nickel Cabinet Knob

What color to paint kitchen cabinet hinges?


btw the new knobs are brushed satin nickel, cabinets will be a country (not bright, blinding) white
We have an original 1970s kitchen in our new-to-us house. We can't afford to do the knock down do over remodel it needs right now so we're just sprucing it up a little. I am going to paint the cabinets and buy new knobs (I would refinish those too but they are apples. Yes, apples...). The hinges are that old dingy dark brass metal so they have to go too. I'm trying to be frugal and not toss away things so I want to paint them. Would it be better to paint them the same metal finish as the new knobs or the same color as the cabinets themselves (to blend in)?

Would depend greatly on the color of the cabinets or trim in the kitchen.

Place the dirty hinges into a degreasing agent like Goo Gone or 20/20 to remove food particles, dust and dirt and anything else that may have become trapped within the pieces. It may be necessary to clean the hinges with a stiff toothbrush to remove all of the loose debris.

Rinse the hinges. Make sure they are thoroughly dry before moving on to the next step.

Prepare the hinges for the paint you have chosen to use. The exact method of preparation will depend somewhat on the type of paint on the hinges originally, the condition of the hardware and the paint you want to use to redo the hardware. However, in most instances the following steps will apply in some form.

Use steel wool or sandpaper to smooth out any knicks, scratches or other problems in the hardware. The idea isn't necessarily to remove the existing paint although roughing it up a bit will help the primer and new paint adhere better.

Prime the hinges using the appropriate type for the paint that will be used. Follow the instructions on the primer exactly.

Test the new paint on the inside of one of the hinges to make sure it will adhere to the surface the way you desire. If so, then proceed to the next step. If not, you may have to either switch paints or apply a second coat of primer.

Paint the cabinet hinges using the paint chosen, being careful not to let it glob up in the hinges. Otherwise, the paint might interfere with the proper function of the hinge and the paint might crack and peel away easily.
