My trunk lid has pits in the chrome but works fine. I got a chance to get a new old stock handle and it is not painted red in the recess part. It is suppose to be painted ..right?
BTW. The old one is for sale. I'll post photos later.

Get some 1-Shot lettering enamel #104-L. Works great.

I don't have a pre-restoration shot of my trunk handle but it was painted the same as the door handles. Below is a pic of my passenger door handle and you can see traces of the red paint. Below that is my trunk handle after the red had been touched up. I didn't rechrome it. ![[Linked Image from i47.photobucket.com]](http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f167/Tinys1938/IMG_1162.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i47.photobucket.com]](http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f167/Tinys1938/IMG_1863.jpg)

I've seen it at auto paint supply stores and at hobby shops.

If you noticed the trunk handle and the passenger door handle are different..although both have the center indentation painted with a red stripe. If you look at the key hole close you will see that they are different...The round part of the key hole is facing in a different direction on the trunk as opposed to the door handle. They should not be switched...FYI>>>>>>>ED
I was only wrong one time in my life so far. But that time I was right, and only thought I was wrong....ED

What other places was the red paint stripe on chrome used in 1938. I have been thinking about this since some 38's have stripes and some don't. Grant

Grant The nose of the hood bird, the wide horizontal bars in the grill, the grill emblem, the door and trunk handles and the wide center hood side trim. If you have bumper guards the horizontal indentions get black paint to match the center stripe on the bumpers.

Also, if you have a black car (and maybe others) the belt line stripe and wheel stripes are red. Beamer
