Default Re: Zinc Phosphateing of Hood Hinges, Catches, etc

Chuck,

I had my hood hinges replated with the correct zinc phosphate 4 years ago. The plater suggested that I put WD40 on them (as well as the springs) once a year to keep them from rusting. They still look as good as the day I had them done and have zero rust. For my hood catch (the part that bolts on the hood) I painted that and it's almost a perfect match with no maintenance necessary except for a little white lithium grease on the end.
