Semi-gloass black.  Normally dipped in black paint.

Just a point of "nomenclature". The Ford name for this cover is front suspension bumper bracket assy, written "Bracket Assy, Front Suspension Bumper" if you try to look it up in a convenient Ford Car Parts (aka MPC) manual.

To add on to Jim's comment, sometimes it helps in future searches to include the basic part number, in this case 3382 and 3383.  The complete service part numbers for 67/68 are C7ZZ-3382-A and C7ZZ-3383-A

Also I think that the finish is the same for all assembly plants, and I agree with Charles that original examples often appear to be dipped not sprayed.

Not "sometimes", all the time. Do your homework, and don't be afraid of part numbers.

Both of mine had rust holes in the area where the bumper is bolted.
There are really small drain holes between the inner and outer structure and road silt plugs them up quickly. Then they become a P-trap and hold water. Clean out the trap!

It's getting harder to find originals since most people who parted them just threw them away.
Found one locally and one from WCCC.
They are also date coded on the outside, if that matters to you. Haven't looked at or considered repops.
