Proper Painting of the Door Hinge Areas.

[Dino4CELD]

I have a 1967 Dino Spider, Series 1. I want to return the appearance of the door hinge areas as close to original as possible. Attached are 2 photos of the upper and lower hinge areas on the passenger door. You can see that I have my work cut out for me. If any of you have a Spider in original condition and appearance could you please send me photos of the upper and lower hinge areas. Either door is fine. Thank you for your effort and consideration.

I’m in the middle ( I hope) of a total restoration of a 2.0 Spider, the same colour as yours. When I stripped the doors I found that they had been resprayed and the hinges were the same colour. But when I got them off the doors I saw that they were cad played under the paint. It’s hard to tell if it came from the factory with paint & cad plate or if it came plain cad.
I digging thru old photos to see if I can spot an open doo.
It’s the same with the hinge springs.
