We're talking about the door lock mechanisms -- those metal deals with the star wheel. I didn't realize F's and G's are painted but I checked and I agree. I checked several original 62s and none have painted door lock mechanisms. I can't say for sure 63 wasn't painted -- mine isn't painted but it was restored by a previous owner (remember John Sheets?). I checked un-restored 64 Chryslers, and they aren't painted. Just another Chrysler oddity I guess.
