Default Anybody around Old enough to remember?

I have an old set of SBC Hooker Block Hugger Headers to Ceramic coat.
My question is, Do you know what it was coated with originally?
It looked like it has some sort a gloss (but not much), but when I blast it, some comes off and some don't. Kinda like cheap Chrome. But I don't think it is chrome. The headers have an Emblem with Hooker on it welded to the headers. Also the part that mounts against to the head has Mexico stamped in it.

When I blast and after, it has this smell that it puts off. Just can't put my finger on it. Maybe Zinc coated
Thanks, JT
