Jerry, my rear which was more protected than the fronts still has the original paint. It is an aged gloss black. Steve

Originally probably dipped in a low grade gloss black.

John, I believe you are right, dipped and low grade. Steve

I might be wrong but I don't believe I have any front bumper brackets on my 2 57's.
They are bolted directly to the body in the front.
The rear reinforcement is probably dipped as noted above.

My front "brackets" consist of washers,

Same here with the addition of some thin rubber spacers to "save the paint".
