Correct finish on hood and trunk latches
« on: May 13, 2017 - 10:00:48 PM »
What is the correct finish on both hood and trunk latches? Looking at putting together zinc dichromate plating kit.

Clear/silver zinc on the trunk latch.  The hood latch is a brown finish.

Thanks burdar. That is a strange color. Wonder if it is just an unusual chromate color (bronze)  over zinc or if its a different coating of some knin.
