To get my hood level with the fender surround I have ordered hood shims to go between the hood and the hinges.
Should the shims remain natural finish or should I paint them black?

The shims should be placed between the inner fender, and the hinge (not the hinge and the hood). The slots face out, not in towards the radiator.
They were in place when black out was sprayed, so their edges got the same semi-flat black as the inner fenders, underside of hood, and hinges.

Can you post a photo of this please…? (Shim Location) 🌴🌴
Best I can do at the moment. There is a shim under each of these hinges. Hard to see because the slots are not facing inboard. If they were, they would be easy to see, and that's why the shim should be placed with slot facing outward.
My Error, there is no shim on my white 64 hinge. There is on the Red low mile Survivor 64 shown below. The shim extends out from around the hinge base perhaps 1/8-3/16"
