Greetings troops.... can anyone please provide some advice on the correct factory colors to use on the rear end for my 69 C500, 489 case. Generic pic for reference (not my car)

Parts A-F. My guess:

A, B, E, F black
D cast iron
C ???

What I did for my '70 Plymouth...

1.


2. Housing and backing plates are black



3. 3rd member is natural. Here is just looks darker since I treated it with metal conditioner for corrosion control. The yoke and ring shield are also natural



Hope this helps....
