finish on pulleys and alternator braces.69 L78

[daveg]

third week Feb Baltimore 69 Chevelle L78 M22.
The original owner brush painted the motor assy lemans blue lacquer.
This included pulleys and alternator braces.

Cleanup time and it was discovered the pulleys- alternator braces were not painted.
Aircraft paint stripper took the lacquer off easily but did not touch the finish on pulleys or braces.

Did a thread on Team Chevelle on this.
Seems the pulleys- and hood hinges, throttle cable bracket, alternator fan, hood latch assy etc. are phosphate.

Alt braces seem to be black oxide.
What say you?
I always thought they were painted but it does not look that way.
pics of the work.

note defective die on smog and water pump pulleys.
Re- pops are much prettier .
