Default 69 Vert Question

getting ready to send her out for paint and have a question on the rear deck lid.............was the underside painted with the latching hardware in place? If not, anyone have recommendations on how to refinish the hardware?

I'll try to get over to my brothers to check his 69 to verify but this is from my 68 parts car.

Pretty sure the deck lid was attached to the hinges, but not latches when painted. All latching hardware should be "natural finish". Some of the newer rust removers also leave a nice natural finish and prevent surface rust from returning.

Default Rear Deck Paint

My hardware was taken off the blasted and painted semi-gloss black. The catches for the rag top I replaced. Good Luck.

Hi,
I believe the lid, hinges, release levers, release cable, and lock assemblies, were body color.
The bumper brackets and rear bow lock assemblies/ rods were black. The bumpers were natural.
Regards,
Alan
