Answers:
My husband and I recently renovated a historic home that had beautiful hinges and hardware in the kitchen. They were a pretty ugly bronze and black color, but we wanted a stainless look. So, my husband sanded them enough to rough up the previous finish and spray painted them with metallic spray paint that I found at Michael's. It was pretty tricky to get the hang of it, because you have to let them completely dry before touching them so as not to leave fingerprints, plus, the spray paint can get messy and stick to your skin for a long time - my husband's hands looked like the Tin Man for about a week!! They turned out beautifully, and I'm glad we were able to salvage them.
