I believe on a B body, at least up to 70, the hood release mechanism and the trunk lock mechanism are silver, the hood release lever and latch are not black but more of a gray zinc phosphate. The trunk latch is painted body color. E body cars are probably different but I never had a black hood latch mechanism. Maybe someone can post some unrestored photos but IMO dark black like in Jules photos does not look natural on a B body.
