I don't recall having a problem with the hinge during painting but you could run a strip of the 1/8" wide stripping tape on the top side for painting. Unless you saturate in with paint I'd think any film will brake loose after dried. Epoxy in the hinge, well, that's another problem entirely !!!!!! Have you considered the Rand latch for you canopy? Whatever system one uses, you should have a means of emergency opening from the outside by rescue personal and that should be clearly indicated. Larry Flesner
