the bump boxes are black I believe. At least that's the color I did my BT7. And if you mean rear brake drums, then silver is original, but a lot of folks paint them black to show off the wire wheels.

According to the guidelines black but no guidance as to gloss or semi gloss.

Black is correct for the boxes..............Silver is correct for the drums. At one time I believe Alan Hendrix was using a dupli-color number DE 1615 Aluminum available at Napa and I am sure other outlets. I think this is close to original; you may want to check with Alan to see if he has found anything better.

Silver drums is correct, but there's no contrast with the drums and the wire wheels. I painted my drums gloss black and they disappear and showcase the chrome wire wheels. Use Hi-Temp black paint.
