That would be news to me. The factory reconditioned engines I've seen in the UK were painted cheap black paint (as Jonmac notes) and got a special FRE plate covering the original engine number.

Some suppliers to the UK car industry did use different paint to denote reconditioned parts. I believe that's the reason we sometimes see Lucas parts like wiper motors in a grayish-greenish-bluish color instead of the standard black. A friend of mine told me once during his time as a motor factor that he sold remaindered gray-green-blue paint to one of the manufacturers so it could all be blended together and used on reconditioned parts...

I seem to remember that the factory painted replacement engines red.
