My 73 bars had silver paint marks. That's the correct color for the .89 bar. There may be a color reference in the tech section.

My 71 Road Runner had silver also, and looked like it was just thrown on, and left to run all over. There was no attempt to make any coherent marks.I found a cheaper paint than what that article uses. I just put the bars up on jack stands and pored Rustolumn gloss black over them. Did it 3 times, and looks very good for $8 worth of paint.
