- Well, you've eliminated my answer. What's wrong with MEK? It's not that nasty a chemical. It stinks, but you can set this up in a shed or back porch or something and let it go. What I would do if I w

- I'm going to take a different approach here. How about Simple Green to get the oil or grease off first. Then depending on the hinge itself, use a wire wheel or bead blaster for the rest. Of course,

- The really nasty (but unfortunately effective too) ingredient isn't MEK (methyl ethyl ketone), it's methylene chloride. Been identified as a potent carcinogen for decades. 3M makes a product called "

- Another old fashioned way to remove the paint would be to go to the hardware store and get a can of lye and mix up a solution of lye and hot water and soak the hinges in this for a couple of days. Yo

- Got any old brake fluid? It'd probably be expensive to buy for just that purpose however. Eric Russell Mebane, NC Login from home, work, school. Anywhere! ____________________________________________

- Old brake fluid, as Eric suggested, would do the trick since you're not in a Auto shops that do flushes oughto have enough used stuff to let you take a quart. There are some "safe" aircraft coating r

- Oven cleaner is great for removing baked-on layers of dirt and grease, like what covers many old car drivetrain and suspension parts. It definitely removes old paint, and often rather quickly. You ne

- After 24 hours, the TSP did a decent job on the latex, fair on the oil. I needed to use steel wool to remove the oil paint and that killed the patina I was hoping to save. Simple green, suggested by

- I use brake fluid a lot for paint stripper, but I found it doesn't work on latex paint. I had exactly the same need as the OP, get some paint off some brass hinges. Brake fluid did not touch it. -- R

- You know, there are ways to create that patina. Of course, it won't be the actual authentic original patina, but it will look the same and I won't tell. Here's one link: http://www.woodmagazine.com/m

- Thanks! But I fear by the rust spots after washing off the TSP that I have brass-plated hinges, in which case I think I will give up and buy ORB hinges that will match the original doorknob patina mu
