Does the door latch on the outside of the door get painted or does it stay in metal?

The peice that bolts to the jam?

The latch in the door and the catch bolted on the jamb were both originally unpainted on my 65.

I have a number of originals and none are painted.

I was concerned about the piece on the door itself. Sounds like both are unpainted.

I painted both of mine, but what do YOU want it to be? The paint will chip off where it contacts but the rest will stay.

I think I'm gonna try them without.

Thanks guys!!
