Painting brass on insert door to black

[aberzins]

Hey,

I've got a brass colored door that I'd like to paint black, on my Regency 3100 insert.

What is the best way to do this.

Use black paint.

Seriously, it looks like that door can be easily removed from the (hinges). Can the glass be remove also (ie is there just a rope gasket holding it in place with metal brackets?). Remove glass if ya can...if not tape it off real good. (any over spray can later be scrapped off with a flat razer blade)

Is that brass polished? If it is smooth you may need to sand it a little. I have always had good luck using LIQUID SANDER prior to painting metal surfaces. Ya got to get the brass CLEAN of all oil/soot/dirt.

Use a HIGH TEMP stove paint (spray) and apply several coats. Should be fairly simply.

Is it maybe just a brass onlay that can be removed? I cant see the door being all brass or even being different then the black one offered! But who knows!
