I am cleaning up a bellhousing. The inner surfaces appear to be painted black? Is this the way it came stock?

Definitely notpainted stock, but clutch (black) dust will really stick to the inner surfaces to the point where you'll need to scrub with degreaser and a wire brush / brillow bad to get it off.

I've tried "Gunk" and barbeque cleaner and lacquer thinner and the black staining isn't affected much. I'll try the Brillo pads next.
