I need to lube the hood hinges on my Challenger and I was wondering if WD40 might have any negative affects on the paint on my hood hinges.

Thanks

it won't hurt the paint at all if it's real paint with hardener in it. spray bomb, I'm not so sure.

I don't know that WD40 is the best for hood hinges though..it's too thin and will drain out in a short time. good for a quick fix, but not long term. I would try a silicone or lithium type grease, something with some more "stick" to it.

I ran out of the white lithium grease, so this is the reason for the question. I will stop and get some.

Thanks for the replies.

Actually WD40 is not meant for a lubricant. It is a water displacer. There are many products out there that will be better for you.

The 69 Dodge reproduction car manual says to put a drop or two
of motor oil on all contact points and it shows where the points are.

you evidently have never had nut freeze to the threads while using wd40. use it on a rusty nut that heats up while turning and it will likely seize not free up. never had much luck using as a penetrant. oh it works but there many better products out there.
