<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">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...
