Rebuilding Door Hinge

Looking for some information on reworking the door hinges. I cannot tell from the hinges that I have if they were originally painted the same color as the car or not (there are several colors of over-spray on them). I am going to bead blast them to bare metal, but trying to figure out what would be a good plan from there. My first thought was to bead blast and paint them satin black (same color as front cowl), I just don't want them to look like they were transferred from a donor vehicle.

When I rebuilt my hinges I left them with a primer coat on. I plan on painting both the same colour as the car.

Doors and door hinges were installed on the car at the time it was painted. They should be body color along with the door jambs.
