Subject: Re: Engine and head colour
Hello
I don't think they did stop 'hand scrapping' the rocker covers or cam covers. I think with time and restoration most of the original hand scrapping has become lost with polishing.
If you want the 'hand scrapping' look it is possible to achieve and you should contact Brian Savill as to how best to achieve it as he has done on both of his 16/80's.
I think Brian will also know the correct shade of grey engine paint to apply.
Best Wishes
Chris
P.S. SU carbs would have been enamelled black
