I'm sure these were left unpainted to rust over the years but was wondering what everyone did to theirs, besides paint black and I don't want that, to keep them from looking bad. I wasn't planning on using them but probably going back to the column shift auto if the buyer shows up for my 4sp setup.

I use Eastwood's Detail Gray for items like these. Looks just like the clean metal afterwards, but now they are protected. I also sprayed all my fuel and brake lines for the same reason.

I'll give that a try thanks, I just went ahead and put it all in primer and boxed it up for now that way it won't rust, if I end up using it or not it'll be protected
