Don't forget a fuel-proof "aluminum" finish for your carb bodies, Gillesleor...

(The original 'lacquer' would be doomed. Note also that some of the carb hardware was nickel.)

Parkerizing varied greatly, especially if exposed to cosmoline; It can only be an obvious fault if it all matches.

I suspect the 'black' paint was all pretty much the same, not quite glossy, nor matte!

Carburetors are painted aluminum as what was required ,I am quite honestly looking at Parkerising all the parts necassary as what was done on my XA and WLC ,in my opinion this this was a process that was given to manufacturers by the U.S.Army as mandatory for all of their vehicles
