I typically have the rear end housing and backing plates bead blasted then powder coated semi gloss black.

The leaf spring band clamps in the photo are installed incorrectly ( upside down ). The open end of the clamp always faces down, not up as in your photo.

The black is easy. What troubles me is that yellow marking.

Remember and consider the article is not focused or about restoring 67-78 rear ends and not those that were installed at San Jose or NJ specifically
