I did mine with Eastwoods spray gray.. It stands out a little. You can see it in my pic just past the black PS jug on the floor

Grey Zink Phosphate coating would be the closest I know of. Eastwood sells it also.

Try Eastwood zinc phosphate on the sway bar and gloss black on the brackets. Bolts, nuts and washers are black phosphate.

There's a paint called "Metalcast" base, that looks close to natural too......

Probably, but the sway bar looks so much cooler coming at when you can see it!!!!!!! I wanna think my 67 was bare metal, but I can't remember.

From a 1968 - 1970 Plymouth B Body reference Manual. "The sway bar was dipped in black paint."
"1968 - 1970 The Sway bars saddle brackets are stamped steel painted black." They have a semi-gloss black finish. The nuts and bolts are phosphate plated.

If that's the "Reference Manual" by Paul Herd, that book is full of errors & erroneous info. But I think the swaybars were dipped in paint similar to the way torsion bars were. I honestly don't recall the swaybars being plated when these cars were new, and none of my original cars (St.Louis, Hamtramck, Los Angeles) were plated; they were dark with black paint flaking off of them.

It is not from the Paul Herd book.
