So... In case you ever decide to paint your cabinet hinges, I would suggest going about it like this:
First, remove all hinges from cabinets. (With an adorable Little helper, of course!)
Next, soak the hinges and screws in some baking soda, dish soap and boiling water. I don't have measurements for this, but just visualize the amount I used, because it seemed to work quite well. ;) And make sure the water covers them up all the way!
I let them soak for about 10 minutes or so, then took a toothbrush to them to get any sticky residue off. Then, once I rinsed them, they were clean as a whistle!
Let them dry all the way, then put the screws down into styrofoam so they stand upright when spray painting, while laying the hinges flat so you paint all parts well.
Then... Well... Spray!
Give at least 30 minutes between coats (I did 2 coats). I then let them dry and sit overnight and we put them on the next morning. :)
Well worth it!
