#1 Mud guard and air filter colours

Post by Grant » Mon Apr 20, 2020 6:40 pm

Good Evening Gentlemen

Whilst still trying to make the most of lockdown time I am restoring some engine bay parts,
I have a 1969 ots lhd USA spec car .its old English white
I am assuming the air filter would have been the hammered silver effect , is that just hammered sliver that you can get anywhere or is there a special code for it ? I’ve looked on here but could only find body colours.
Also the mud guard (is that what it’s called ?) I see on a lot of restored cars it’s body colour , but mine appears to have been black , is that correct ? It looks like satin black on the engine side and some sort of bitumin black on the tire side ?
All answers gratefully received.

Thank you

Grant

The canister is hammer silver and the splash shield satin black.
