I had SMS Mopar do mine. They painted the parts in a detail grey color. The black portion of the pedals almost looks to be dipped. The pedals when I sent them in were completely taken apart painted then rebuilt with new rivets, almost the only way you can get every part of the pedals painted  :dunno:

Ditzer 9000 (TX9) is a gloss black same black they painted the outside body with, however when they painted parts back in 1970 it was reduced so the finished product had less gloss, more of a sheen plus the gloss level varied from part to part. The bare metal was just that.  Notice the bare metal at the rear of the assembly.
