Default Has anyone powder coated hinges
Just came from the car wash where as I was washing my 07JK the paint pealed right off of one of my hinges. I already had plans to get them repainted in the spring because of rust but now I guess I need to do something sooner. I don't like the look of chrome so I was wondering if anyone out there has black powder coated hinges and have they held up? Also if you have any tips on how they should be done or if it's worth my time,money and effort. thanks

X3. Mine look like crap in just a little over a year.

Would that not be covered under warranty? I would be interested in hearing what the dealerships have to say.

Warrenty approved on mine ! They will repaint for no charge. However I am not so sure this is the answer. If from new they can only last 10 months than i would much rather invest a small amount and get something with some longevity. As I stated earlier though I just don't want chrome in colour. So I was hoping someone out there has powder coated hinges in black and it has lasted. It just seems to me there may be some issues with powder coating, but I don't know I have very little experience with this coating.

Powder coating would be sweet but I wonder if black chrome would be more durable yet not quite as bussacap-blingy as bright chrome.

After fully stripping and prepping, a primer\flat topcoat powder would be extremely durable with excellent chip resistance. Long term durability wouldn't be an issue.

Unless you're planning on painting the doors forget it. The body is factory painted with the hinges already installed.
Removing the hinges to replace with stainless or special coatings opens up a can of worms.

I do not personally have these installed but saw them at 4wd.com. They are hinge coverers that come in either black or stainless. You would still have to prep or paint to prevent/stop future rust behind this cover but might be an option for some. http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx?partID=40327
