hello are there some one there know what the finish for the factory is on the shield caliper and the strut rods . thanks

[J_Speegle]

Shield = semi-gloss black
Strut rod. Darkened heat quenched steel. If you do a search you will find ways others have discovered to achieve this finish in their restorations

jeff I think he means caliper shield (silver)   not rotor shield (black) but not sure what he is asking.

[J_Speegle]

Good point as you can see I took the request as the dust shield. The smaller shield around the caliper itself was galvanized

Don't know if they were P & O but focus rather on the look rather than how they got there. Believe they were hardened bolts so somewhat darker than steel. Some will used gun bluing and work them from there to get the look while others will phosphate, tumble then oil

Just what I've done successfully

its fomoco  oval   & some calipers were blacked out painted over (69 Shelby) & some were painted silver depending on the wheel option to hide rust showing thru spoke holes.
