I figured they were painted with some natural looking paint. But they still look odd compared to all the rest of the "polished and shinnnny" parts. Maybe you should have looked into having them done in zinc. It would do no harm to them, and would make them "blend in" with the other type parts that you had zinc coated.

Get some of that "chrome" paint.......LLLLLLOOOOOLLLLL
Got a new pair of Timken hubs from Rock Auto and painted the raw steel castings with the Eastwood cast iron paint to prevent rusting. Still have to finish the lower a-arms when I find time.
I bought a rebuilt Z51 2-turn lock-to-lock rack a few years ago and never opened the box til now. It was all painted Chevy orange so I stripped the paint today. I'm working on clocking the fittings to clear my engine, then I'll probably paint the cylinder charcoal and polish the aluminum housing.

Maybe the charcoal color would look better on the ball joint cover too.
Thing is, it's not going to be all that noticeable unless you have a show display with the wheel/tire removed.
Beautiful work ,you're going to have to wear sun glasses to put it together
