Now that is new information to me... I can't recall ever removing one with remnants of orange paint... always black. Does this mean I've only ever removed service parts? OR was that due to the fact that when people did clutch replacements, they generally 'cleaned/repainted them black'?? (I'm probably thinking mostly of '55-60 Chevrolets, which are the cars I first worked on)... I can't recall what my '69 Z28 cover was painted, but I'm betting due to my history, that if I repainted it.... I did it in black!)..

I will look tonight at the 68 but last time I was under it the cover was painted (not great due to being installed) orange but I cant remember if it was bare or black. William is more than likely correct. Not that I am doubting.. ;)
Trust but verify!!!

I'm not questioning William.. just questioning my own experience and memory.. :)

I wasnt meaning to make it seem like I was referencing your post.. I usually try to quote if that is the case. I was just speaking out loud..

We pulled a 63 327 from an impala a while back that appeared untouched. I remember putting it in the parts washer and under the grease it was orange.
