Topic: April 68 C Code Automatic Driveshaft markings

[Oz390]

C code, C4, 2.79 standard rear... GT/CS.  First time I have seen 5 paint stripes, used to 4.  From the front a light (white, light orange?) thin stripe (about 3/8"), then the typical 3 stripes - light green (but the color is odd changes in the light and with the flash almost looks light blue at times....?), pink, white in ~1/2" wide.  And then a  5th thin line again, in a dark green or dark green blue, never seen this one before...  but the others I have done were big blocks. 





Is the 5 stripe pattern typical for small blocks of this type/time??

Going to clean and leave alone.  Using wax and grease remover with a nylon scrub pad. 

Any suggestions on a finish to use to keep it from rusting too much too fast, Brisbane is warm and humid?  Rust converter, clear coat...??

Would instead offer that its not that unusual to find 5 stripes on a 68 driveline. Three for identification the others for some other purposes

I would use an oil or wax. Had too many bad issues (just more work) with clear coats
