rear diff cover - color

OK, Weird question...rebuilding the rear end on my 92 Z (LB9,T-5). When I pulled the rear end out, I noticed the diff cover was silver. I can't see any other underlying color so I am assuming it was that color from the factory but I could be wrong. The rear was apart previously. Maybe someone changed the cover.

Painting everything now so should I repaint the cover silver or black like the rest of the suspension?

Re: rear diff cover - color

Fairly positive they came from the factory in black, could be wrong but since the color is silver it seems like someone didn't wanna buy a chrome/aluminum cover back in the day and just went with it.

Depends on if you are going for the factory look or something different as to which color you choose.
