When I got my 75' Iron head 10 years ago I sandblasted the jugs and used John Deer "Blitz Black". After 5 years I had to touch up some places that cables rubbed on it but it holds up really good even to the gas. It comes in a rattle can so it's easy to use.

They switched in late 94 calendar year, so it could be.

Got one in the garage. It's pretty dirty, so it would be a good comparison....
