Headlight bucket paint detail question...

[Frankenstang71]

Hello. can anyone show or tell me if this whole side bucket and upper bracket should be black? Or just the square bucket with the bracket remaining body color? Also is the area on fender that holds the plastic squares blacked out or body color? Or is it all left silver/my body color as it is? Thank you in advance.

On mine, the part thats welded to the fender is the same color as the body. This light green is the factory paint.

Thanks for showing me that. That seems too simple. I guess I'm all set. It just seemed to me that at least both sides would be black.

Doing mine right now. Blasted with ground glass, etching primer followed by VHT satin black epoxy. First one is done, working on
#2, new hardware really pops
