Correct paint for '69 Nova hood hinges and latch

[SS427]

Paul, Steve Gregori www.brakeboosters.com is fairly close to you and he does a great job. I request a very dark grey phosphate and he always comes through. They also have a slight crystalized texture which also resembles the original finish. Unfortunately I do not have any hinge specific photos but here is an installed photo of Dana's hinges. I have matched this finish to a pair of NOS and they are pretty damn close.

If you are looking for a "home brewed" solution...there are some spray can choices..

last set I did were media blasted first...surface had a slight texture to it...I primed with a grey primer...then a light coat of detail grey and a finish coat of the Eastwood product...they looked pretty nice. A high end resto probably deserves the full monty...but, this will work for most folks.

Brian at Supercar workshop plated mine, if you want to go that route. They came back perfect

Jerry MacNeish did mine 12 years ago and they still look real nice.
