1972 hood hinge bracket

[Jerome P.]

What finish is the bracket that holds the hinge to the underside of the hood? I believe it has a zinc finish. Am I correct?

Kevin, Thanks for the picture. As I thought the hood support assembly is natural (cadium ?) finish.

Could you please let me know it the "hood hinge assemblies" (left and right) have a natural (cadium?) finish or are they painted.

Your help is and has been appreciated.

Here is a photo from ebay and if you need here is the ebay number 370519890653. I would call it a flat Cad plating not a bright zinc.
Hope this helps

Hood hinges were in place for body paint (so they will have body color over spray on them) and they were in place for the blackout operation so the bulk of the hinges will have blackout. The bolts will have black out on them so be sure your hood is adjusted to your satisfaction before you paint the black out. Body color is on the outside part of the upper leaf.

There have been some excellent photos posted on here in the past. SEARCH is your friend.

I'd call it flat, cheap zinc.

I usually think a bit "whiter" for cad.

Jerome,

You need all three colors - cad plating, then body color, then blackout.
