Hose clamps
The hose clamps on my 86 are all painted black. Im wondering if the factory does this or if it has been detailed. Does anyone elses C4 have black clamps under the hood?? Thanks for you help.

They're painted so they don't rust and are cheaper to make than stainless.
The factory screw clamps are way better IMO, because they don't eat through the hose when you tighten em, since they're only threaded on part of the strap.
