What is the correct finish for the hinges on these sport seats - painted? powder coated? Matt / gloss? Happy to do my self but if anyone knows a firm that would refurb the metalwork and poss replate levers. nuts & bolts etc. for reasonalbe money please let me know.

The hinges should be black 'crinkle' finish for 73.

Any idea of how to get that "crinkle" effect??

[Lightweight_911]

I'd say it's actually a 'speckle' finish rather than 'wrinkle'...

I've managed to get a reasonably close approximation in the past by spraying the hinges black & then using a paintbrush loaded with paint to 'flick' specks over the surface.

I take it then its a matt finish or possibly satin?

You say speckle, some say freckle,
Some say flatter, you say splatter,
You say wrinkle, I say crinkle................
