The question is what to do about the hinges. Should they be primed and eventually painted as well? Do they need any special preparation prior to applying coating?< The hinges I used came with a clear annodize. To check you can use an ohm meter and see if your hinges are coated or not. If they are annodized like mine, there is no reason to paint or prime them.
