Painting a super T10?
 

I am rebuilding a 1975 vintage Super T10 four speed and am wondering if I should paint it? I have it tore down, I ran it through the parts washer, and plan on gently blasting it. I am looking for a new/ stock appearance, but I'm not sure if I should leave it with the blasted finish and then clear coat it or to just go ahead and paint it. It also has the cast iron side cover. Did borg warners look just like the muncies?
