Any one car to comment on what i "think" is correct....the Hinge Pieces were Zinc Phosphated and then submerged in a Protective Oil, that makes them Dark...The
Rivets Holding the two Hinge Pieces were Manganese Phosphated (Almost Black) $
the Spring is Manganese Phosphate (also oiled)

I believe that Zinc Phosphate hinges that are left unoiled are restored incorrect......

Below is SURVIVOR 73 Camaro Hinge
NOS Spring on Left vs Zinc Phosphate on Right
Zinc Phosphate (NO Oil) is Too Light IN Color
