What You Need

  • Paint Solvent and Brush
  • Rubber Gloves
  • Cloth Rags
  • Spray Lacquer

1. Several layers of paint hide a beautiful metal door plate.











2. Strip with paint solvent and a brush in a well ventilated area, being sure to use eye protection.








3. After determining which brush to use, clean and polish the hardware with the high speed rotary tool using the #421 polishing compound.








4. Spraying the hardware with lacquer will maintain its luster.
