The clutch, flywheel, Bellhousing and inspection pans were on the engines when they
were painted so they were painted the same engine gray.
The transmissions and rear axles were shipped as bare metal.
Not absolutely original, but if you don't like the look of rust most of the vendors and
many FLAPS carry Dupli-Color DE1651 Cast Coat Iron paint that looks pretty natural on
the running gear. There are a few pictures at the top of this page of an SM420 ready to
install that was painted with the DE1651:
