37 Ford Tudor standard 221 head nut color?

[Mark's 37]

Painting the 37 engine before installing in the car using the dark green paint from Mac's. Are the head nuts painted the same or left bare?

Do not paint the head nuts. This is the correct way....

Originally they were cadmium plated.

I use stainless steel nuts to avoid cadium plating getting chipped and rusting.

Thanks, I have left them and the bosses under the nuts bare. Using new studs and nuts from Mac's. Also leaving the intake manifold surface unpainted.
