Default rear end detailing on a 68

I have the entire rear diff and suspension out of my 68 and would like some advice on the detailing as it goes back together. Not going for full judging here, just best factory original look possible diy. Everything was pretty rusted and has been glass beaded clean. Maybe cast blast on the pumpkin, dull alum on the yokes? What should the leaf spring look like - natural?

rear end is natural cast. use cast blast. along with yokes. the rear spring was a light grayish blue. I hope your buying new plastic liners for the spring. if not look up Quanta Products of Rising Sun Md. buy there spring paint as well
