G, the baffles are usually left "black" unprotected and they are usually painted in-situ, on the visible part, once they are assembled into muffler pipe.

I recall having to remove this silver paint (probably heat resistant) from the internal part of the pipe, so that the baffle will slide out, once the 6mm retaining bolt is removed.

The genuine OEM were Dark Grey, sort of primer finish. The New ones are black.
