You can buy a metallic paint. But painting brass hinges is almost a crime! Not only that, but they are never going to look quite right. I don't care what they do on HGTV. It will look like you painted it. That's not a good look. You can take them to a place that does chrome work, silver plating, etc.
and have them professionally coated. The crime in that is the cost. Unless these are really special or antique hinges, if you want the look of silver, brushed nickel or a look like that, you'll be better off buying new hinges.
