69 Z on e-bay

[CamarosRus]

Regarding painted door latches.....I'm in the process of replacing a reskinned door with a good Original on my 69. I had the original, media blasted after removing ALL the guts. What would the professional restorers apply to the zinc plated latch assembly in the way of grease/cosmoline to replicate what the factory evidently did.
On any of the Original paint cars, you can almost always see where paint has been worn/washed away as it was over the factory coating of ????????
Any body care to share there thoughts ???????

This was discussed very recently on either the CRG site or Camaros.net and it was stated that the Norwood body shells had deck lids with strikers and latch assembly & doors with latch assembly and door strikers installed before paint.
Van Nuys was different because the bodies were built up in the Chevrolet Assembly plant not a Fisher Body plant as was the case in Norwood.
