Door striker plate paint or no paint ?
I have a pair of door stikers I just bead blasted. Are they supposed to be painted or natural metal look. If natural metal should I put a coat of clear on them?

Re: Door striker plate paint or no paint ?
I'm pretty sure they came a semi-gloss black from the factory. Or even a flat black. I have been wondering the same thing about color or not and have taken to lookin' at a lot of photos on the net.
Hopefully someone more knowledgable will chime in. Keith |

My 69 was non-painted with a natural dull black color, similar to black phosphate bolts, from the factory. If you elect to paint them, I'd go flat or semi-flat.

Re: Door striker plate paint or no paint ?
Now that you blasted them,they need a new process done to them,like cadium or parkerized or whatever. Unlike a finish like paint or powder coat,these processes get into the surface of the metal,not onto it. Since this is a wear part,any finish will chip off
