Differential Color??

i'm new to the forum and to corvettes and will be starting a frame-off project on a 69 conv this weekend - will start posting some pics on progress. this forum and you folks are amazing craftsmen and the information sharing is great. i have learned so much about vettes in the last few months i'm ready to start

question - i have seen the differential painted both black and silver. what is most correct? i dont want an NCRS car but want to be somewhat correct. going natural is not an option because i drive my cars and dont want a rusty differential in a year. thanks for help

I had mine sand blasted and powder coated in clear. It looks original and won't rust.

I agree. NCRS like the cast iron look. The Cast Blast Paint will keep it from rusting again.
