Skip, I was trying to talk like Phil...

I decided to have the door hinges & attching bolts powdercoated gloss black so no chipping on assembly Also did the filler panel behind the bumper and the header panel above the grill, mtach is perfect...

So the powder coat black is a perfect match to your paint Dan?
I didnt think powder coat polished well, just wondering if it will look different in a few years of cleaning and polishing
Not worried about hinges just the exterior panels

I have never experienced the color changing or a issue with polishing and I have been having stuff powder coated for nearly thirty years.
As to the panels I did powder coat the filler behind the bumper and header above the grill arn't really seen and more susceptible to rock chips and the reason I chose to powder coat.

Here are the wheels on my 35 same black powder.

Everything that I've ever read or seen about powder coating they say that it's impervious to chemicals and chip resistant, and A whole bunch of good stuff ........... but at the same time I've read issues where they talk about it being sensitive to UV light over time......??????

Hi Dan,
As what Keith said above, the Powder coating here seems to dull off etc over time in the sun (and you guys get a fair bit of that) and it doesnt seem to polish up the same as a paint over here was all

I really don't think it will be a issue especially for the header panel because it will never see the sun and the filler panel is mostly covered. These cars sit in a heated garage 95% of the time out of the sunlight.
