The door strikers on my 64' Polara where painted when i got the car but not sure if they came that way from the factory? I thought about removing all the paint and trying to get the metal to shine up and then possibly clear coat but the castings aren't the best. What have some of you guys done with yours? paint body color, paint silver,aluminum ,as cast, zinc ?

I am not sure if they are body color or not but I did not paint mine (Zinc coating I think). I would think it would chip right away and make them look really bad.
 
I've read where some are zinc coated but is that how these early b bodies came from the factory?.
