Bedlining Door Hinges
I'm bed lining my front door hinges with tan rustoleum bed lining; I have already painted the rear door hinges and with the rear hinges I only sanded the clear coat off, cleaned it with paint thinner, then sprayed bed liner. For the front I bought a can of black and clear rustoleum automobile primer. Has anyone tried spraying the hinges with rustoleum automobile primer after sanding the clear coat, then spraying the berliner. Will this prolong the life of the paint job or will it cause it to fade/chip prematurely? Any advice appreciated.

I found it easier to take the hinge completely off, strip it all the way down using aircraft remover. Rinse well with water. Blow it dry. Then use a quality primer and then bedline it. I used masking tape over the hinge pin for easy cleanup.
Also I left the door closed and removed only one hinge at a time(per door) so I wouldn't have to realign the door.
