I am in the mid stages of a frame off restoration. Anyone know the original transmission /transfer case color for 75?

Pretty sure neither were painted from the factory. C4- bare aluminum. Transfer case and 3-spd - cast iron. VHT makes paint to match if you want them protected.

Thanks, the current color is rust and oil. I cant find any sign of paint so I'll try to get them cleaned and protected. It is a 3-spd by the way.

I used the POR15 cast iron grey in a spray bomb. Very high quality paint.

what Scoop says... no paint. I took my transfer down to the case and sandblasted it then I put a satin clear on it to stop the rust. Or use some cast paint like Bronkenn did. I restored a 75 frame off and spent a lot of time trying to make things as accurate as possible to OEM.

I noticed some residual blue paint on my adapter after I cleaned up the C4 I bought second hand. Not sure if it was a PO mod or what but I went with it. Cleaned it all up and painted the bellhousing/body in aluminum and the tcase in cast blast and the adapter blue

i've done a number in a black or grey. i just like anything that's chemical resistant for future easy clean up and durability
