This is a question I would love to know the correct answer to. I added a power
trunk release to my car many years ago and when I purchased it there was no paint
on the latch(it was a used assembly found in a wrecking yard by a GTO vendor) Upon
installing it, I discovered that it was impossible to install the cable without the latch
being out of the deck lid, so it seemed to me that since nothing had any paint on it, it
must have been installed on the assembly line after the car was painted. Making this
assumption, I left the latch natural as it was when I bought it, but I've often wondered if
maybe the GTO parts vendor cleaned the old overspray off the latch with paint remover before I bought it. I hope someone on this forum with this option from the factory can
answer this question.
