In the 80's BMWs got yellow paint on all the suspension nuts that were tightened. It was always my understanding that on the line, the guy responsible for checking torque, put the torque wrench on each nut, then immediately daubed some yellow paint.

Do you suppose it was the same thing on these Camaros, but they just used whatever color they had in front of them? Seems to be no rhyme or reason. My center link had pink for sure. Don't know why there would be different colors. Anyone ever try to rub a little paint off with lacquer thinner? If it comes off easily, it is lacquer. If not, then it is enamel.
