Hi all-

The painter is asking for the deck lid latch receiver to install before he paints. Problem is I have blasted the latch and disassembled in prep of plating next week.

Can the latch be installed after painting without distortion of crossmember? I remember this was a real PITA to remove...

One more question, was the receiver part of the latch clear or yellow cad plated? I've seen both. The car is a '69E
