Zinc or Painted Bolts

[sandman 78]

all my bolts l replaced when did a resto some were silver zinc other chrome plated looks sweet and lot people like but you do what ever you want

I must have chrome plated thousands of these bolts and 95%+ were zinc/cad plated.
Don't remember many being painted at all. The hinges were plated also. Maybe it changed with late model stuff but I reckon they were majority plated.
We are talking those with the fixed washers right?

Yes, the bolts with flat washer attached.

Yes, the bolts with flat washer attached.

Yeah they were zinc/cad plated on all the earlies.

To my knowledge, the bonnet & hinge bolts were zinc on the HQ-HZ but was unsure about the rest of the bolts that are visible, like the radiator support panel, nose cone etc. don't want it to look stupid or untidy.

WB were painted. Must have been an update from earlier series. Hinges, springs and bolts.

The OP also asked about the door hinge bolts. AFAIK these were painted for all HQ to WB.

Also the bonnet hinges & bolts were all zinc/cad for HQ-HZ but were painted for WB. This followed the Commodore assembly process where the whole under bonnet, including the firewall was all painted body colour
