Here are the doorknobs that have been spray painted (I think) a weird silver finish.
And I will be tackling these windows. They need to be reglazed. The glazing is in very rough shape.
The window latches were painted some weird glitter/gold color. Spraypaint, again I think. See the chunks of glazing ready to fall off?
The sash lifts (is that what they are called?) only have a bit of paint around the edges. They have a nice patina. Are they bronze? brass?
Into the cooking pot they went....
...But this method did nothing to loosen the glitter paint. Anybody have a method to remove what I think is spray paint?

Those are the *exact* same door handles we have. Did you have any dishwasher soap in the water at all? Try using a bronze brush or steel wool to clean it off while hot?
I used baking soda in the water, I will have to try the soap too. Right now they are soaking in mineral spirits. The paint is softening but I think I will need a wire brush.
