Step 1

Several layers of paint may be hiding a beautiful metal door plate.

Step 2

Strip the metal hardware with paint solvent in a well-ventilated area. (Be sure to use eye protection.)

Step 3

Clean any detailed areas with the 404 bristle brush. Using 421 polishing compound, polish the hardware with the 404 brush or the 429 polishing wheel. A clean felt wheel will work well to remove excess polishing compound and bring the metal to a high luster. Recommended speed: 15.000 rpm.

Step 4

After you achieve the desired finish, spray the metal hardware with lacquer to maintain its luster.
