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 Flame suit on................Fire Me Up

Used Brian Henderson a while back at Supercar Workshops, did a really nice job and was very reasonable. Don't know if he's still in that game.?

I didn’t know they’re was someone rebuilding hinges these days, good info. I phosphated my hinges myself. Bought the stuff from Palmetto Enterprises and followed the instructions they sent with it. Made a square SS pan about 3 inches deep to place them in. Got to have a good heat source and keep the temp right.
I use Remington Gun Oil on my hinges n hood latch. Any light grade oil would work, probably 3 in 1 would be okay. Back in 96 I got some oil from ASL but it’s pretty dark.

Aesthetic restoration as above is very doable, I use an old SS sink welded shut, on an old bbq. A bit longer on the q will darken them up a bit more, and that's the way I like it. Where you can get in trouble is using too aggressive of a media to blast them. Where Willie comes in is resetting new rivets and getting the movement back to oem. All depends on the condition of the hinge if you need that or not.
