It's been several days and several new posts since I looked at this thread. Got me curious so I checked my heat stove which of course was removed decades ago, when I replaced a cracked exhaust manifold. The original factory color was........ rust! Actually there are some small areas along the bottom of it that still have the factory black paint. By all appearances it matches the black on the tube, which (to me) seems to be, for lack of a better term, satin black. Less shine than semi-gloss but a bit more than flat black.
