The center post of the jack is what I would call metal color.It was not plated.Most have become rusty and a dull silver paint is acceptable.The base,handle,& ratcheting mechanism is black.Semigloss would be prefered to a real shiney black.

Thanks for the info really appreciated. Will get out the sand paper and spray paint and go to work on it.

For the vertical shaft of the jack, I have seen them bead blasted and then painted with a satin clear finish. That way it doesn't rust and it will give that "natural metal" finish.
