James,
I’ve used Eastwood’s Silver Cad replication coating spray #100222 with very good results. Good up to 300 degrees so can be used on under hood components.
Probably silver cadmium. Perhaps Silver Zinc.
In any event, if doing a concourse job, you can get it plated. Cad is the most expensive and the most toxic. Silver zinc is priced ok, but it tends to turn or fade in a couple of years. Some have done a dull nickel plate that holds up well over time. I know several who used it on E-Type suspensions and did it at home.
For non-concourse cars I use Eastwood Tank tone paint. It holds up fairly well and goes on without any primer. I use it for brackets and factory nuts and bolts. At about the 10 year point it may need to be repainted if the car is driven a lot.

Hello,
All of the parts & pieces that make up the Throttle Linkage to Trans. Kickdown Linkage…..
How did the cars leave the factory?
Were the parts Cad Plated?
I can’t imagine they were bare metal (as they would have rusted; right?)
Here is a piece that is bare metal; but wondering what it is supposed to be…?
