hood hinges bend regularly? BS??
#16
Thanks for the response bro,
Well, yeah they do touch each other in the process of pulling up the hood. Only way I can fully open up the hood is by sacrificing my fender by getting it bent by the engine hood. Also chips off the paint as well.
So I don't know how I'll put on WD40 on the hinges unless I open it up all the way.

At the moment, I am scared of rust forming because I can see the silver metal from the chipped paint on my Pearl White color G35.
Would a body shop be able to paint it and fix the bent?
I understand the fact I need to replace the hinges but the bent/chipped paint is what I am worried about atm.

I store my car all winter, but I don't have a garage, so that's why that started to happen on my car. During the driving season, I'm under my hood fairly often just checking up on things. You really should keep up on lubing those hinges though... it's a recommended maintenance item and easy insurance to help avoid a potential costly problem.

How visible is it from outside the car? If it's not that visible, you could always just repair it yourself with some prep work and primer, then top it off with some touch-up paint. Or you could go the more expensive route and pay a shop to fix it, but it will probably cost you a good chunk of change. If it's just chips.... it's definitely repairable though.
