What is the original finish for 1959 1. Gas tank straps?
2. Vent tube at rear of tank?
3. Filler neck?

I just sandblasted these parts and want to replicate the correct finish.

For the straps on 1961 mine were black under the areas of undercoating I pried off. Solid rust everywhere that undercoating was no longer present.

I won't be able to get to my garage until this weekend but I can tell you that mine are black.
