That's not paint. The center link is forged and they were naturally black (or really dark blue) from the forging process. The tie rod ends were coated with some type of black rust preventative, but supposedly it wasn't really paint, at least that's what I was told.
I'm sure about the center link though.

Many of these parts had Cosmoline covering them when produced. Not really black but rather a dark brown coloring. I still use this today as well as BoeShield.
