<div dir="auto">I have a theory that the paint they used just didn't stick to aluminium.
<div dir="auto">Could be wrong but sure would help explain the unpainted starter end and the intake manifolds.</div>
<div dir="auto">The oil filter adaptor does however tend to belay my theory.</div>

<div>To give a some background on my project. I'm working on a 56' standard 100 BN2. 90k mile car stored indoors for over 40 years. Some areas of the car are amazingly original/ clean/ untouched. But of course it has its demons as well. So I'm doing a lot
of "preservation" where possible, and restoration where needed. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyway, in reading the concours standards it sounds like the standard 100 intake manifold and exhaust manifold are painted engine color? I have traces of engine color on the balance pipe, but absolutely nothing on the intakes. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was thinking of painting the air cleaners with hammortone silver/aluminum paint and overpainting with a light coat of engine color, but was interested in what others have done to achieve the correct look?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks all, Shawn</div>
