I believe the drive shaft was black from the factory. whould the u joints have been painted too or put in after painting and left unpainted?
Thanks,

If your talking about the prop shafts and joints well I painted all mine black.

(Had to get a dig in about prop shafts in case Lifer is reading this !!)

No need in painting until after u-joint installation. Paint will get damaged while pressing them in. Anything left unpainted will rust readily.
