Steering Column Paint

I have the steering column out of the car. It's in fair shape but needs some new parts, paint, & TLC. What color is the correct color or best color for the column? The car is a '69 and the interior is black. The car will be a weekend driver and not a trailer queen show car.

Is there a good video on how to restore a '69 steering column?

Thanks for the help!!

Gus

Steering columns matched the interior color. SEM will cover metal.

SEM trim black is what I used to paint my columns. It matches well to the interior black.
