Just took my front end all apart and getting it ready for sand blasting this weekend. I was looking for some nicely detailed pics of 69 charger front ends. I wanted to make sure I painted every thing the correct colors.

Check out Totally Auto they have some pics on their website.  They are expensive though.  www.totallyautoinc.com

Most was unpainted, so you have to ask if you are going to try and duplicate bare forged steel.  K-frame was satin black.  Upper control arms, drag link, ball joints, and strut rods were unpainted.  Lower control arms were unpainted with Cosmoline covering most of it.  Some parts here and there were painted black sometimes.  Mopar's never consistent.  Here's a few links:

I posted a bunch of pics on this post: Proper Finish for Suspension Parts

Look at the post by Screamindriver where he paints the parts with stainless steel color, then mists black on top and wipes it off with a rag.  Looks like the new unpainted ball joints I have, but they won't rust.  More suspension pics

There is this "perfect" Challenger with great pics towards the bottom: The highest scoring Mopar in Mopar Nats OE Certification history—99.22%

Some lower control arms were black. Some front swaybars were black. I just put a semi gloss clear on the bare steel parts.
