I've just finished painting my kitchen, and was a bit messy. There
are small specs of paint on the extractor hood and on the stainless
steel sink. Apart from elbow grease is there a quicker and easier way
of cleaning this up??

If latex, it will come off with hot, soapy water and a little scrubbing.
What is an "extractor hood"?

Oil paint: Dampen a rag with a little kerosene
Water-based paint: Dampen a rag with household ammonia

A thumbnail will likely remove the paint without scratching
the surface. Do it soon -- the task will only get harder as
the paint cures.
