We’ve been talking a lot about painting kitchen cabinets lately. And we’ve made it pretty clear that you’re supposed to remove all the hardware from your doors and drawers, label the pieces according to your handy map (you’re supposed to make a map!), and then get to painting.
But what if you’ve moved into a home where the previous owners painted right over the metal hardware? We see it all the time: DIYers just paint right over drawer pulls, door hinges, hooks, and other hardware.
Luckily, it’s possible to remove the paint without ruining the hardware. This may be especially good news if you have antique metal hardware that you’re hoping to restore and reuse. Here’s how to do it.
