    Finish question

    The two latch pieces for the foldout door pockets in my car have a variety of paints on them. flat, satin and gloss black. What is correct ? I'm guessing gloss black, as the other paints seem to be on top...likely rust paints. But I'd like to be sure.

    Thanks
    Ravi

    Ravi,

    Please show us a pic of what you have.... As far as I know the 'latch pieces' should be the color of the plastic...satin black

    Hi Chuck,

    This is their current state. The back is more satin, but has paint drips, so I know that can't be original.

    cheers
    Ravi
