Depending on the vendor used at the time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have never seen an original upper control arm in black...there have been over the counter relacement UCA'a and LCA's in black that may have found their way on a car early in its life - which would look original 35-40 years later. I have had several real low mile cars in the shop that had black uppers. Ranging in years from 66-70.

Resto Rick sells this paint, but haven't seen these circles a lot. what cars received them? The "red circles" were on cars that came with road wheels.
