Thanks Gary.

I guess I'll go with the black.  Mine looks like the first, which is
somewhere between silver, dirty, and black.

PluckedChicken,
My 63 383, which is very original, is for sure turquoise engine block
and black Air Filter cover.  For the turquoise engine paint,
Summit Racing has what you need:

DCC-4120752AB TURQUOISE ENGINE PAINT 1 1Z4758400388748531

Seems like black is what I recall.

And here's one on a 1963 max wedge, which looks more satin than gloss black in this picture:

Thanks,

What kind of finish is the valve cover oil breather supposed to have
on a 63 Polara 500 with a 383? I can't tell if it's silver or was
painted black at one time. It feels like aluminum, but it seems to be
rusting a bit and there's areas on it that look like black paint but
it could just be dirt. Any advice on finishing it so it looks good?
It says Oil on it; reminds me of that old blonde joke about missing
the "710" cap.

As always, thanks.
