I've always seen them the same as German tools (i.e. the same color the tool would be if it weren't on a tank, steel).

My reading tells me one of wo things:
1. Paint them the same color as the vehicle, then weather/chip the paint.
2. Paint them as "not painted" i.e. wood and steel.
I do not think you could go wrong with either
The Soviets in WWII did not waste resources on being fancy...

Thanks I will go the black route and a little rust at the edges. And yes you are right the Russians are lucky if they even had any tools to put on their. I bet we gave them bunches of them.
