I removed my pieces (the ones that the exhaust tips hang on)yesterday, and they appear to have no paint on them. They sure don't look plated to me - does any one know their correct finish?
also the correct finish/color for the plate that the rear shocks attach to?
Thanks!

Based on photos I have seen of low mileage cars, I believe the hangers for the tips were "unfinished" metal. In other words, they weren't painted.

And unless I'm mistaken, the shock mount plates were unfinished also.

Wait a few mins and let Barry W. or some of the other guys that know for sure chime in.

....here you go. These came off of my 32K mile T/A. They where natural with an orange mark on the driver side.

Hope this helps.

If anyone has a 1971 Challeger factory service manual, the T/A exaust is in it & that orange daub is actually noted in it.

i noticed (what i thought was brown primer) must have been the orange daub while i was sandblasting the part........
are both the shock absorber and u-bolt plates (that sandwich the leaf springs)natural also?
that RPM stuff mentioned above sure seems interesting, looks like i'll have to get some!
thanks for the info guys! I'm sure i'll have a ton more questions the further i get into my project here.
