(66) door hinge reco

Post by bages »

Can ayone advise on correct way to finish these off?

Bought a pin and cam kit for lower hinges, have them apart and blasted ready for reassembly. But notice the cam is plated. What is the correct procedure re:paint ? Do I blast the plating to prep for paint assembled - or paint them before reassembly? what about the spring? leave as is or paint?

Thanks guys !!

What is it plated in? If it is that gold/yellow zinc stuff a light sand and the paint will stick well to it.
