On my 71 Superbee the lower control arms are in factory black paint like the k frame. Now from everything I see people are saying they are supposed to be cosmoline. These control arms are fully black in color and everything looks to be orignal and untouched. So are they supposed to be black or cosmoline look? Were there plants or vendors that fully painted them?

Most lower control arms were bare steel dipped in cosmolene to a varying depth short of the ball joint hole.

SOME lower control arms were dipped in black paint. When AO Smith (original manufacturer of control arms for chrysler) had their cosmolene lines occupied with railroad components they also manufactured, they would run the control arms in black dip.
