Would the dark phosphate also apply to 67&68 throttle levers?

Bob, I tried taking some pictures but the flash makes them appear lighter than they actually are. I would say go with a more gray than black phosphate vs. light/dark. I have always had them redone in a gray color with the hood hinges and latch assy.............RatPack................
