I have two originals and both have the highlight painted silver. I would not rule out the possibility of chrome highlights. I have several original 69 horn shrouds, some are silver highlighted and some are chrome highlighted. Not to say this equates directly to the block off plate, but you never know.

Personally, just to be a little different and match the rest of the dash bezel, I'd consider chroming it.

If you are going to use paint, the silver/chrome leaf pens that you can get at the hobby stores do a great job.
