My 76 had the original yellow paint when I bought it and the hinges were the same color.

this would be the time to replace your hinge pins and bushings, before the car is repainted. i did mine last summer on my 79, got the pins and bushings right over the counter from my local chevy dealer, had to cut the pins down to size but thats no biggy. BTW, my hinges are the same as the body color.
