Drive Shaft Markings/Finish
I did the search on the driveshaft finish and natural (nothing) seems to be correct. Are there any factory paint marks on the driveshaft? The guy that owns the shop (old guy) and balances the driveshaft thinks there might be a green mark somewhere on it. Any thoughts, maybe pictures??

Big block cars use a shot-peened half-shaft and yoke assembly and is so identified with a dab of lime green paint on the shaft.

Driveshafts and halfshafts are a natural finish welded to natural finish forged steel yokes. The weld bead should show a moderate amount of discoloration due to heat from the welding process.
