Both...bolted to the engine when the engine was painted...overspray varies

So aluminum and orange overspray?? Thanks.

They painted the bellhousing on the engine. Generally the paint would be fairly heavy at the front of the bellhousing fading to much thinner at the rear of the bellhousing. Don't forget to paint the bolts to the engine as well.

Bell housing was bolted to the engine when it was painted.  If you want perfect OE, wait until you have to pee really bad and you're not allowed to go until it's painted.

Oh yeah: It's like painting the engine compartment, make sure to miss some spots and make up for it by running the paint in other spots.

I've seen pictures they were over sprayed half way a fade out.

Factoy(s) varied and shifts varied on how it was done.

So unless you have your original un-restored to duplicate. Just paint it all.
