Disc brake dust shields

[68 bee]

I have a 1969 Dart with factory Kelsey Hayes 4piston disk brakes. The dust shields were very rusty and I cleaned them up to the bare metal and want to keep the looking clean. Were the dust shields bare metal from the factory or were they painted black

Galvanized, if memory serves.

The 73+ ones were definitely galvanized.

Maybe @hemi71x can confirm the KH ones were
