I would think that for 90 bucks they should at least be painted.
It is my understanding that the arms are metal covered with plastic. Meaning the black portion, the portion that is being machined, is plastic. No need for paint.

Sweet! You did it, Northlight! Awesome! Thanks for committing to it and putting in the time and effort to solve an annoying issue. I'll be ordering a set of your modified door detents.

Installed mine from Northlightlabs the other day and they are perfect. Look just like the OEM ones but stop in the right place. Very easy install also.
