Default 70 TA rear sway bar questions

My car came with a 5/8 bar. It should have a 7/8 bar. I know that many of them left the factory that way but I'd like to put in a 7/8 bar. It seems like the Addco bar is a factory repro. First question has anyone here used one? The single review I found says it mounts up to the factory hardware and it looks correct.

Next question, what is the proper color for it?

This is what mine looks like but I don't know if it is correct.

They were natural steel. That said, at the dealership, during set up, we painted the bottom of the rear and some parts of sway bar black to hide rust.

You can buy nice poly replacement bushings that stay in place from energy suspension.

Thanks Formulabruce. The Addco bar comes with hardware and bushings. But, their end links take bushings that are flat on one side. I'm going to use my factory end links so I did get a set of the energy suspension bushings which have round end link bushings.
