Easy peasy- just boil the hinges in a pot for about 30 minutes paint will flake off. Great when painting kitchen cabinets or bathroom vanities. Other tips?! icon

    OOO this is smart! Thank you! We have a few knobs with paint that I just never dealt with. Though I do wonder if there is a way to do it without removing....

    I really think it would be less time consuming and easier to just boil them and reattach.

    Oh, good to know, I'm a newbie at painting, and I'm still making messes each time!

    You don't even have to boil....just put in a crock pot on low overnight, the paint just peels off.
