Trunk Latch Finish
RE: 1969 GTO, factory Carousel Red car
The latch mechanism bolted to the underside of the trunk lid - from the factory should it be natural in appearance or should it have a light fogging of body-colored paint on it? TIA |

The key operated latch was installed before painting so the exposed end will have body color overspray.
From my understanding, the electric trunk latch will be natural as it was installed after painting

btw, on two of my original paint cars that came with a factory installed power trunk it looks like the cars were painted with a manual trunk latch and then it was replaced with the power one later in the assembly process.
