Tailgate support hinge color?

[mkmc69]

Mine are silver or galvanized plating of some sort. Probably depends on where the truck was built.

well as i said on my truck and that's all i have to compare to,the supports are not painted,maybe plated or something but definately not painted and also not painted are the square rubber bumpers or the round bumpers.that's why there are missing from the pictures,so they won't get painted.you can see the black square bumpers in my picture.that is a 74,000 mile truck with original paint at that point.
