What is the proper finish on a 69 and or 70 Alt cooling fin. I have from cad,rust color, to gold irridated to flat-azz gold paint. I know the gold paint is out but should it look like the power brake canister or more like the housing on the alt. ???? Thank all of you big dogs in advance. Little Dog out.

Originally it was galvanized, most people Zinc coat them now because a suitable galvanizing process has not been found.

Try your local Chevy dealer. I bought some NOS ones from dealer and they are silver in color. Looks like cad plate. I am not sure if it is exactly the same as the 1969 part but they look pretty good.
