Default bedlined door/hood hinges

got around to finally bedlining my hinges on the doors as well as the hood. very easy stuff Just sanded by hand, put on about 3 -4 coats of EZ-Liner, and let dry for a couple days. For the life of my I couldnt get the hood hinges off so I ended up masking and painting them right on the jeep, turned out fine. Looking at the pictures now I think maybe I should have bedlined the window hinge as well...o well another time maybe I'll get to that.

here are the pics:








and one of my dads summer car that was out for the day, next to the jeep, good old british V12 goodness!

I also need to do this. I get rock chips all over my on my door hinges, this seems like a good solution. Was there any problem getting them to fit after lining them?

Looks great, this is one of my future mods since the paint on the hinges is already going south.

Since you masked the hood hinges and removed the door hinges and now know the difference between the two, do you think the door hinges could be done by masking them off as well?

Having done it both ways, what would you recommend?

It looks really good!!! I have to do it now on my yellow one!

umm there was a bit of a problem with one door, but i took it off, re-aligned them and it fits fine now, maybe a little tighter than before. Its easy to see where to put them back on cause they are not painted underneath.

I'm not sure if you could do the door hinges by just masking. To paint the hood hinges I actually too the hood off just leaving the hinges attached to the jeep (I couldnt undo the bolts to get them off the jeep) so since there was no hood on it made it really easy to paint, It would be difficult to just mask if you left the hood on, likewise with the doors. Plus the door hinges are super easy to take off, so its easiest to do it that way.
