Ed
The engine hooks on my 27K mile LT-1 Vette were brush painted (as well as the manifold) with aluminum silver paint. Under the silver paint the hooks are a raw metal that has a brown/black coloring to it. The silver paint was put on to cover the orange over-spray on the intake and t-stat housing plus keep the bare steel on the heads from rusting. The spark plug wire stands on the Vette were brush painted with chevy orange paint. In an effort to match my original LT-1 Vette I elected to leave my hooks a natural steel color. IMO they were not painted orange.
