You really need to paint the bare brass with a metal primer, intended for
use with non-ferous metals. Then you can use ordinary oil-based undercoat
and topcoat over the primer.

Your problem is going to be getting it in sensible quantities - a litre will
prime a hell of lot of hinges! I wonder whether a model shop would have
anything suitable.

A good model shop will have etch primer suitable for brass.
