I was wondering what to paint the hood hinges on my 53, I was on Eastwoods website and see the have paint for gold cadmium, and silver cadmium. I am not sure which it was originally. The other option is black. I don't think I am willing to go for re-plating. Any information or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

I painted my hinges with Eastwood Tank Tone Paint for painting gas tanks. It resembles Silver Cad. It seems to hold up good. I have used it in the past on various things,even running boards on my Firetruck.

I have painted my firewall gloss black and plan to paint the hinges the same color along with my inner fenders and radiator.
