    I've never seen any data on it, but my guess is it has to do with the metallurgy (alloy content) of the part. Here are some splash shields from a '65 Dodge that I did after bead blasting. The two from under the fender did the "bronze" like color, the one from under the rad did more of the "blue-green" thing.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
