Mazola-
The hinge covers I have pictured are the original covers (note the holes are near the end of the cover, the '65 covers had the holes in the middle). My interior is standard blue vinyl. Don't know whether or not you could chip paint off if they were painted - check the back of the cover, that should be not have been tampered with. BTW - mine have no metallic, just your basic blue injected plastic.
