Hi all,
I have had my doors off a few times now, and my door hinges are not fully painted. This seems strange as the Bronco is designed to have the doors off, and yet it gives my Bronco an unfinished look to it.
My question to all of you, is this how your door hinges look?
Let me know, and if mine are not like the majority, i.e., painted I will be going to visit my dearler and get them to paint them.
Thanks for your insights!

Hey Rydfree,
Are you suggesting I paint them myself? Seems silly if they are fully painted on most produced Bronco's. Why not have it professionally done by the dealership's paint shop?

Quality is Job 1 once again at Ford. Mine are fully painted. Warranty item if you got the time to leave it at the dealer, if not match the paint and knock it out yourself if you want. Living in Michigan, I would be concerned about corrosion down the road.​

They will look better black when the doors are off IMO. It's up to you of course but I never take a vehicle to the dealership unless absolutely necessary as more bad things happen than good .

It's why they make these.

A couple hours in your garage or three plus weeks at the dealership, even with ultrafast service figure three days ( unlikely but possible)
Luckily, my dealership is not back logged. I will schedule a time, drop the Bronco off, they give me a loaner, and I will have it back in two days professionally painted.

$259.00, I almost choked to death on that price. I am fortunate that my dealership is top notch, they do great work whenever I have a warranty issue, and they look after me really well. Don't get me wrong, I do all of my own maintenance on my vehicles, but when it comes to warranty, I get a loaner, their turnaround times are fast and the work is done right.
So, I will get them to paint it professionally. I do appreciate your suggestions though.

Thanks Happycampinman,
As my paint is the Cyber Orange colour, it is tough to match. I will definitely get them to warranty paint it, as they will match 100%, and it will be professionally done. As to the time it takes, I always get a loaner, and their turnaround time is fast and the work, top notch.

Hey Coastalcop,
Cyber Orange is tough to match, so I will take it to my dealership. They will book me a time, provide a loaner, and I will have my truck back in two days.
This is the advantage of living in a small community, the dealership cares, provides a loaner, and does great work.

No, mine looked like yours. I painted them myself and it looks much better. I’ll post photos next time I take the doors off.

Hey ryn0s3r1,
I appreciate the response and I look forward to seeing your photos. Two questions for you:

1- did you paint your beauty rims?
2- where did you source your paint?

Automotive Touchup has the exact paint match for Cyber Orange. I had the beauty rings powder coated at a local shop.
