I bought a used 2008 4-door(half doors - so does that make it a 2-door!) with only 18k miles. Unfortunately, it spent most of it's life on a dirt road and was a filthy mess.
The rear hinges had a lot of rock chips - the fronts had a few. I pulled the doors and yanked the hinges. I noticed that there is no paint on the door under the hinge.
Do you think I should mask that area and hit it with some paint?
I am stripping the hinges and will be painting them with the rustoleum bed liner spray can stuff.
What about the hardware - can I replace the hardware with stainless or will that just accelerate the corrosion due to dissimilar metals?
