Subject: Re: Engine and head colour
Thank you Nigel, I will go for grey.
Concerning polishing engine parts: I do not like these overpolished aluminium and brass parts. I do not think our engines were polished when they were young. Nice examples not overpolished are in Arnold Daveys 2, 3 3 and 3/12 liter book e.g. on pages 49, 170.
Another thing on engine looks is the SU carburettor domes, I do not know if they originally all were black, but I really like it.
