    Questions:

    1. Are door hinge bolts painted body color?


    2. Are trunk lid bolts painted body color?


    3. Are the fender bolts cadidium plated?


    Look forward to hearing from my forum friends.

    All door hinge bolts were painted body color (doors were installed at paint time)

    Extra credit - all upper rear valance screws were painted body color on your particular car (because of where it was assembled) Though the valance was likely not pulled into the body at the bottom edge during painting.
