Im thinking of venturing into using those little tiny round rare earth magnets for my next projects hood hinges.  As many others on this site are doing this as well, and i really like the idea.    so what have you found works best?  I see on amazon ones that are 3mm x 1mm.  but there  are a few sellers with even smaller  2mmx 1 mm .  rounds.     Also what type of glue are you guys using?  and have you had any problems with them being too strong magnatism? where they pull out of the glue.   also are you putting the magnets in the body or hte hinge?  seems to me most hood hinges are pretty thin,  but then again so are the magnets?

I  put one on a unpainted hood ,but after I painted it a little round circle appeared in the paint above it. 

Was it metallic paint?
