I painted my '69 Barracuda bumper supports black a long time ago, so now I'm not sure if they came from the factory painted.

In a photo taken after paint stripping and a short soak in Evapo-Rust, this bumper support shows adhering black mill scale from the hot forming.

So were they shipped from the factory with black mill scale and no paint, or black paint over the mill scale?

If you don't see two dolphins, you need a vacation.
