I am redoing my seats and have found my seat hinges have the chrome peeling. I only noticed this after my bumpers were gone. I am not wanting to spend the money for new hinges either. I am wondering what you guys think powder coating would look like on the hinges. I think I am going to carry the hinges to work tonight and blast them and maybe carry them over tomorrow and drop them at the powder coaters.

What does the forum think about the hinges being powder coated? Do you think that would look acceptable? Not worried about NCRS.

Couldn't hurt to try powder coating. If you don't like the looks you could always have them rechromed as I did.

I just got the new Corvette America catalog and they carry those now. The only thing I would worry about when powder coating them is that if they rub against anything they might peel especially in the area between the seat and center console where the seat belt is. Chrome won't peel due to abraision. It usually peels due to age or rust.
