hood hindges and latch

[icecreamman]

Hi

Can someone tell me what color or finish the hindges should be along with the hood latch?

I am detailing the engine bay

Thanks

They are supposed to be natural in color.

PHOSPHATE and OIL
is what the MCA says is correct, most plating shops can do the work. Typically, they charge a minimum fee, so if you are thinking of going that route do some more research and take everything. It will probebly be the same price. I used A-1 Plating in Baltimore, MD and am pleased with their work.

If you live near a Military Base find some of the contractors and talk with them, Uncle Sam has strict guidelines concerning the different types of plating used.

Another way is to use a rattle can, Eastwood offers "detail gray", "cast blast", and others to duplicate "natural" finishes. Good Luck with the restoration.
