There was a recent discussion about this and they are bare metal.

If you search you will likely find the thread where it was discussed.

They were originally phosphate plated......grey/charcoal grey color provided by the phosphating.


Eastwood sells a "Zinc Phosphate" spray paint that is reasonably close looking to real phosphate. Exact duplicate??.....no....but still a fairly nice finish and look.

There are a number of places that can rephosphate your hinges. I have had a number of sets replated by a plater I use after I do the prep work.
