Overspray on bell housing 67 Z?

[iluv69s]

I see that i am not the only one building a 67 Z. I once again continue to learn from the knowledgeable folks here. Thanks again Supercar sight!

My Smokey MO302 motor came complete with clutch, bell, etc. The problem is the bell is painted orange...for that matter the exhaust manifolds are also. The manifolds don't matter because I am using headers anyway. But I thought the bell should be bare aluminum. And I recently learned that there is at times overspray on the ends of the intake...but, what about the bell?? or was that attached after the engine was painted??
