Hi all,
I've finished polishing the rocker covers and dashpots on my 66 Series 1 and am going to move onto painting the air filter and box next. Any ideas what colour silver they should be, looks a bit metallic - will probably do reservoir in same. Thanks all - keep safe.

I sincere hope that the nice rug you have been polishing on is not in your lounge!

Hammered silver for the air filter (hammerite or rustoleum) I believe, after a quick search.
