Topic: 68 Dearborn disc brake spindles

[preaction]

I found a few past threads about spindle paint marks but nothing specific to Dearborn disk brakes or a late built car, I found this after a soak in evaporust up close the paint is pink would this be typical ? Also were these retainers  painted  SG black too ?
