Ummm... no. That's not correct. They were originally plated. I'm no expert on plating, but some have suggested phosphate and oil. I've heard that before and as far as I know, that is the proper finish.they were originally painted "slop gray"
The correct finish is phosphate and oil. Order some OxiSolvfrom Eastwood or Metal Prep from POR-15, either will leave a phosphate coating. Spray or dip in oil and walla, you have an original finish.PO painted the hood hinges the same color as the body (????). What would be the best way to correct this?
Should I sand blast them or use stripper on them?
Then should they be painted a silver color or just clear coated with something?
This is on my 70 mach.
Thanks
