Turbo/TH350 paint? Overspray?

[Newman]

What is the correct finish on a 1969 TH350 transmission? bare? Orange? Overspray around the bellhousing?

Thanks for the help

My '69 Malibu did not have any paint on the trans (350/TH350). It looked like I was the first one to pull the engine as the engine still had original paint on it and the trans was numbers matching. I can't guarantee it, but that is what I found on a numbers matching vehicle.

The auto trans was not installed at the engine plant.

That's what I suspected, my trans is also original and does not have any paint or overspray. I just wanted a second opinion.
