powder coat hinges??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Beefcake · 06-19-2009, 07:18 AM

hey guys,

just curious? Can i take our hinges to a powder coater? Im just thinking that the extra thickness will prevent movement.

my67chevytruck · 06-19-2009, 07:45 AM

I have seen it done before.

Check with Sammy (boardmember name) and see what he thinks about his hinges. I know he had his PC'd and he can give you some first hand experience.

But I agree with my67chevytruck, it can be done.

check with board member'TX Firefighter' too....he does this as a side business....what hinges are you talking about....door, hood?

72BlckButy · 06-19-2009, 08:10 AM

Nice question Geoff... I automatically assumed hood.

Thank God it's Friday!

Beefcake · 06-19-2009, 08:31 AM

yeah, sorry... hood hinges

c10addict · 06-19-2009, 09:51 AM

Mine are powdered on my 68... Holding up great..

*vegaschevy* · 06-19-2009, 11:06 AM

Im thinking about sand blasting them down and powdercoating them

ChevyFan24 · 06-19-2009, 11:20 AM

I powdercoated mine. I don't think it will effect the movement but they are not installed yet. I have done it in the past on a Camaro with no problems.

Beefcake · 06-19-2009, 11:35 AM

same with springs????

Beefcake · 06-19-2009, 11:36 AM

the springs on the hood hinges???

eightbanger · 06-19-2009, 11:46 AM

I bought my Hood Hinges off a guy on Ebay who does powder coating , this was before TX Firefighter was ofering his services as a PC'er on here. He doe's them all silver, all Black or like mine a mixture of the two.

I will say that the coating did prevent the hinges from closing when I first installed them, a little gentle coaxing fixed that and a small amount of WD40 for good measure.

SCOTTMO · 06-19-2009, 06:09 PM

Should not be a problem,i have a pc business and i have done several of them
springs too

Mine were powder coated after they were blasted..Two months ago still stiff to close but getting better all the time. I like the fact they are shiny look new if I wipe em down. I had them done, latch plate upper n lower, in black. The serpentine done in sliver. Other than fighting to realign the hood getting better all the time. I will have the other trucks hinges done because they look better than shootin em with spray cans. Finish is outstanding as far as wear just hard to relub after being baked.
