1965 Dodge Dart 270 wagon

It looks like the lever to unlatch the hood from the core support is painted red. Is that correct? I would have thought it would have been cad plated as well!
Correct Don! The latch should be silver cad and the hook yellow dichromated. The little opener uner the hood medallion should be yellow dichromated too. I will send Eric the latch and some small stuff to get it right. It will be a driver......
