Default 79 rear interior storage compartment handles?

The early 79 corvettes had three storage compartments. What color were these handles, Painted Black or zinc plated? I need to replace the ones on my three compartments. Thanks. :confused:

The ones I have seem to be painted black, but the replacements are advertised as being zinc plated? :confused:

"Mine were paint the color of the interior, doeskin"

As were mine. They may not be referring to the finished product's appearance as zinc coated because I would think it would be chrome plated or painted (over bare zinc coated metal).

Pretty sure they should be interior color. The catalog I saw said "specify interior color".

They should be color keyed. Use interior dye.

OK, Thanks everyone. These are wrong and I'll strip them and paint them the interior color. Thanks again. :chevy
