What is the correct color? I have seen different restorations with black ones and grey ones.

Bare steel, no paint. Most had daubs of paint (inspection marks) but not all did.

For some restos bare steel just won't do.
This one here is painted with several different shades of silver....(to look like bare metal)

Agreed, bare steel. I've also seen paint daubs on some and even a white band on a few.

That explains why I could not find any paint under the rust. Thanks all!

RestoRick does a great job with driveshafts as well.
