hood inserts

Anyone know what shade of black the hood inserts are painted on a 73 Cuda?

i thought they were suppoesed to be body color

I think they are a flat black.  I know I have seen Cuda's that have them painted orange just like around the grill.

The are painted flat black on my '73 Challenger.

   My '73 inserts came in flat black from the factory.  I have since repainted them satin black.

My 73 Cuda ones are body color and they are still wearing their factory finish.

I believe there is some confusion on what a scoop insert is... there are two pieces the scoop and a flat piece, sometimes referred to as a blockoff ... the scoop came body color the insert/blockoff came black (I'd call it satin black), this is for both Barracudas & Challengers.

I've seen a lot of block-off/inserts in orange.  Is this just a trend?

The blockoffs was what i was refering to.Satin black was what i kinda figured.Thanks.

I thought maybe the block off plates were orange on the Cudas when you ordered the orange grill but maybe not.  They do look good that color.

now i see. i thought you meant the scoop, not the block off.
