Pianting bolts or not

Post by Dougieboy1 »

Car just about to start the painting process. There are a number of bolts that i am wondering what the final finish should be

1. Door hinge to A post - painted body colour

2. Front Wings (K head bolts) – all painted body colour except for the four that hold the carpet pop stud plates

3. Closer panel – raw plated finish

4. Luggage hinge to luggage lid?

5. Engine hinge to engine lid?

6. Rear quarter bumpers - raw plated finish

7. Latches for engine and luggage compartments - raw plated finish.

8. Oil and fuel flaps?

9. Number plate panel - raw plated finish

All comments welcome if i got it wrong and additions where i dont know.

Do not plate Bolts etc if they will eventually be Painted

The paint will not adhere properly to the Plating
