Default Restoration question

I am restoring a 68 Z-28. I need to know what the correct colors for the following items should be. Rearend housing and tubes, backing plates, rear end cover and leaf springs. Thanks

I believe the rearend is @60% gloss black and the leaf springs are natural.

The past master on the 1st gen Z/28 is Jerry MacNeish. He has excellent books available, one for 67-68, another for 69.
