How do you paint cabinet hinges? What type of paint?

I'm painting bathroom cabinets but the hinges don't really go with the color. Don't want to buy new hinges and can't even remove hinge from one cabinet base because bathroom door casing is in way. I thought about using Rub n Buff but don't know how it would hold up.

    Try a paint pen.

    Everything's removable.. Can you take the door and casing off?

      It's not just a simple casing but a 2"or so board with the trim casing on top. Would probably destroy the wall taking it off and not prepared to do that. The cabinet door doesn't even open all the way.

    Remove them, clean them with a degreaser, let them dry, then SPRAY paint them.

    After 24 hours, use a Clear Coat spray, to save your paint color.

    I think that spray paint will get you the best results!

    I have spray painted cabinet hardware before with great results. Be sure to apply it in light coats. Don't worry if the first coat doesn't give full coverage as the second light coat should take care of it.
