Re: painted or un painted latch

If you paint it, it will just chip or wear off, and its not something people usually see anyways.

Re: painted or un painted latch

The unpainted will stick out on the black, but I like the looks of the unpainted latch.

Re: painted or un painted latch

I would leave them unpainted, if painted it will always chip or wear through where the latch hits the striker each time.
