Steve,
Old Joe and Gary are right about the phosphate finish. I talked to a
guy (ad I found in Hemmings Motor News) about rephosphating. But in
the end I stripped the paint/overspray off of my hinges and the
original phosphate underneath looked pretty good. You might get
lucky. I think I used just a regular paint stripper, but there is a
rust "remover" from POR 15 that leaves phosphate behind (really just
looks like clean, unrusted metal) that can remove rust pretty well if
you needed that.
Just a thought.

I just happen to own a pair of NOS hinges that have never been
used. Funny
thing is one is a darker gray than the other and both are the fuzzy
sort of
phosphate finish. I'm not sure how to replicate, but if I were
to try to
match, my best guess would be some stainless steel paint (with fuzz).

I am restoring a 69 350 Coupe and was wondering what the correct
finish is
supposed to be on the hood hinges. I see camaros with a cast gray
color and
others with a flat black finish. Which is correct for my car?
