Hood Hinge plates...Color?

[njpatera]

Greetings again...Working on the hood. I guess I'm trying to get some small things done while waiting for some other pieces and funds...lol
What color are the mounting plates suppose to be? are they black, silver or body color as well? I couldn't find a detailed enough pic on The Google to verify...Also, is the correct color on the hinges silver? I saw quite a few of those on the web, but I did find body color remnants on mine???

The hood hinges and attaching hardware should be body color. Any mount plate that's glued to the body should be painted body color as well.

Thank you! Guess I'll have to find a formula now for satin yellow.

The actual hinge is cad plated.

The mounting plates are bonded to the hood with epoxy and fiberglassed over at the sides. The bonded in plates are body color. The hood hinges are cadmium plated and look silver in appearance. The same goes for the hood latch plate, bonded and fiberglassed into the hood and painted body color.

As always...thank you and appreciate the wealth of information...especially when many of the pieces I have to work with are being stubborn in leaving any traces of hints to their previous life:-)
