door strikers/ catches/latches??

how are you guys refinishing these parts?
what was the oe finish?


i'm about too tear into my doors and thinking ahead on my project.

one thing i'm not sure on what too do is how to refinish these exposed peices.
i could probally paint them body color (seen this done before an i didnt like it)
or just silver.
but i'm not sure if i like the overall "paint" idea because it will wear off on some peices an look crappy.
I understand just about any finish will wear off the certain areas.

but i wanna hear/see what you'all did with yours an what you think of it.

this is one of the areas that i seem too overlook when i'm at car shows.

mine are in pretty good shape but i will still blast'm to get them fresh and go from there depending on what i read here.
