Default Hood Pins and Steel Hoods

Lazy Sunday afternoon and I'm bored. I was thinking about putting my hood pins (that I bought over a year ago) in. I'm just thinking of the rust that'll accumulate under the hood plates.

What kind of hood life am I looking at after the hood pins, or should I just leave them out?

If the spots are painted before you put them on then you will be fine for years.
