AAACV8 ~ With my previous Pony, a 1967 Coupe, I had gloss Black Extractors against the BLUE block (Ford Colour) and it looked awesome, but the extractors arrived already in gloss black, so I had no idea what paint was used. You may need to "trial' and experiment to get what you like best. I can't remember what the pipes looked like when I swapped it for Little Red as I was so smitten with the '66, the 'Red' occupied my brain 24/7 ! photo of the '67 next to my Bro's '88
