looking for the correct oem hinge color for 1970 chevelle, i have been told that the springs were slate grey and the rest of the hinge was black, i have a dupont paint system and would like to know if anyone has the correct color or dupont code for the color.
what would be the best way to stripe the existing black paint of hinges, just use stripper. you may email me at northerndesigners@hotmail.com

I have found that hinges were usually natural, like the latches.

Spring and hinge were black phosphate. They can be re-coated but it is not a durable finish.

I repainted mine using Eastwood's Spray Gray. Same color as the brake caliper coating. You should be able to pick up a can of Krylon from Walmart that is a match.
