Are these Valve covers upsidedown?

I'm trying to get it prepped for paint. Does the water pump get painted too? Vacuum tube mounted on the intake too?

Thanks
*Pictures of how it should look when done would help a lot!

They are not upside down, but they are on the wrong side. They should be on like this:


The water pump gets painted but not the power brake vacuum line.

And...they should be bronze.

Correct, 69 should be bronze. The red paint in my photos is primer. Final paint on mine looked like this:

Does thermostat housing get paint?
Power steering cap?
OIl cap?
Any decals ? (1969 442 TH400)
​Water bypass hose (I doubt that's that's the name)
Was the fan black and the clutch silver?

Thanks I really like that blue!!!

Yes
No, it's plastic.
There are air cleaner decals, core support decals, the TH 400 tag had paint. The AC compressor had a sticker. No valve cover sticker
If metal, the bypass pipe was painted. If rubber hose, it might have had overspray.
Probably phospate on the fan and chromate on the clutch.

You can get the necessary underhood decals from Fusicks. The fan blade was painted black.
