The base, Tire iron, & mechanism were painted
gloss black. The jack rod (what the Mechanism goes up and down on) is plated steel and is almost like galvanized.

I think the plating on the support may be cadmium, which is the same as what's found on things like the alternator fan, trunk latch mechanism, etc. Any other opinions?
