Cleaned up my 62 Pitman arm in my tank and I find black paint down in the pores of the casting. Also on unworn parts of the ball at the base and at the flat end. Also notice the drips at the base of the ball and the end of the arm, a sign of it being dipped (hard to see). There also seems to be an end to the paint below the splined area around the circumference signifying dipping.
Any of this new info or is it something known or do I have a "refinished" arm. Per the archives and JGN it should be natural.
