I am assuming that the front inspection cover on a stick shift bell housing was on the bell housing when the motor was painted so the cover & bolts will be orange ??
Yes; had many production covers over the years. But, very light coverage behind the oil pan. GMPD service replacement covers were painted black, not correct for a restoration.
How about th400 flywheel/converter cover? No orange for sure. Black? Natural? Thank you, Joe

If the factory covers received engine orange on top of ??, Bare steel, Galvanized, Zinc, Dip prime (Black).
Part of my question is due to obtaining a $5 swap meet used orig cover, I glass beaded to prep for restoration and it seems like the sheet metal is galv or plated.
