1970 Challenger RT Hood Safety Latch

[kent_goins]

Hello again guys:
Quick question on the proper color of my 1970 Challenger RT Track Pack hood safety latch. Is it supposed to be body color or black? Does anyone have a pick of one which is original factory?

Thanks,

They were NEVER body colour.
Sort of a brownish coloured plating....

As said by Alan, based on hundred's of latches that I took apart, light to medium and even dark drown. They were not painted
