I sprayed mine with Rustoleum Truck Bed Liner for a black textured look to match the engine and primary cover..worked great.

Battistini's had some when I was looking for a new linkage.

Nothing I liked... but definitely not stock.

I did the same thing as Sgt Jim to both the shift and brake linkages. Looks great and at about eight bucks for a can of Rustoleum it's almost free. I did mine about six months ago and it's holding up great. Just a couple of coats baked in the over at 200 degrees for about 15 min between coats.
