Remove paint from door hinges

Saw a tutorial on this old house about boiling the hinges, then putting them in cold water and the paint peeled right off. https://www.thisoldhouse.com/how-to/how-to-strip-paint-hardware this is the attached link

You can try pure acetone, but make sure you tape over the door so it doesn’t remove the paint from that. You could also use a heat gun and lightply scrape with a plastic scraper.

Easiest way is to remove one hinge at a time and clean them, I generally use a nice soap scuff pad such as SOS. Do not remove all hinges at once, you might not remember where each one was originally at!

Hi Joe,

Believe it or not, a very easy way to remove old paint from hinges is to put them in a slow cooker (AKA crockpot)! Click on the link below to read the actual method. Wishing you the best.
