I am now on my second set of corroded hinges on the hood and doors. Jeep replaced the first set under warranty and had them sent to a body shop for paint. Now that set is worse than the factory set and there is rust starting on the doors around the hinges. Time for a permanent fix.
The body shop I'm using says the prior shop did not properly prep the hinges and probably just sprayed them with paint. From what we can see from the stripped paint off the hinges, that sounds likely.
My current plan (with a different body shop) is to have the hinges stripped along with the bump out on the door where the hinges are mounted. Then I'm thinking to have it sprayed with Raptor Liner both on the hinges and the door area. My thought is to go with the body color again and I see Raptor is tintable but I'm not sure how close it will be to the factory color and I'm looking for feedback on that.
Has anybody done this? Any suggestions on alternatives?
