I can tell you this. The entire front suspension was assembled of unpainted parts all the way to the brake drums and bearing covers and steering box. The shocks were the only thing that were already painted. Once the entire front end was assembled it was painted as one assembly. They painted over the fasteners, rubber seals and shock absorbers. _________________ Chris

Thanks Chris for answering most of them. I have put the answer in bold for easier reading. I am referring to 57 oval as the subject line say.
Surprisingly there isn't anything in black oxide.

Interesting
So under the black of shock absorber is there another paint color ?
If should you restore a front axle would you follow this procedure ? _________________ LOOKING FOR 62 ENGINE WITH NUMBER FROM 6.904.xxx TO 6.915.xxx

Yes they are. I don't think he had them on his list. _________________ Chris

Yes they were already painted by the supplier before they were assembled to the front end and then painted again when they painted the entire front end.

As mentioned above in #39, the front and rear bumper brackets are painted black (matte). I'm not certain what is being referred to by #40 bumper enforcement plate above, but on my un-molested/un-restored June of 1955 Oval Sunroof, the four support tubes that pass thru the fenders to support the USA spec front and rear bumper guard/over-rider tubes are also painted matte black. I think they became painted silver a bit later on...
