    Duke & Joe I was trying to make light of the fact that people use more than one word to describe a car or part& most of us understand but is confusing to some. The only one I don't get is a lot of people call C-2'S split windows & all Corvettes Sting Rays.

      A light dusting of this will help preserve the natural look (not allowing the half shaft to rust) and is barely detectable.

        Terry,

        Does this mean that in 1970 St. Louis had quit blacking out any of the bare suspension? I'm asking as I don"t know! Many years ago we had a talk with the worker that blacked the chassis components just before the body drop. According to him he was told to black out anything that was bare (not painted). Had that procedure changed by 1970?

          Yes, Joe I believe the chassis black-out operation was reduced substantially before 1970. That said I can introduce you to another very knowledgeable person who believes otherwise. I suspect this will be a prime discussion in Florida later this week.

              I remember seeing a bit of blackout on Paul B's silver 68 half shafts when he had it at Seven Springs back in 2003. Shy of that, I can't personally recall many other C3s with blackout.

                  My 1969 had blackout only in the wheel wells and the bottom of the mufflers.

                      You have an LS-6, which is an uncommon, desirable car. Why would you consider painting the brake shields?
                      The best way to go is not always the easiest or least expensive.

                      You could consider a matte clear on the shot peened parts, otherwise there are other products that have been mentioned on the DB that would also work.

                          Axle shaft, half shaft; toe-maato, tomato. Whatever.

                          What's interesting is the thread's title changed from "1970 axle shaft coating" in the first post to "1970 axel [sic] shaft coating" in later posts, then back to "axle" in the last few posts.

                            DB = discussion board.

                            I would recommend scrolling down to the bottom of the page here, and see the box that says "similar threads." You will find other discussions there that review the same topic, and you will likely find some good options there.
