I intend to bring up to scratch the front suspension arms and coolant reservoir including repainting.
The suspension arms I will do with Hammerite as a more durable solution against chips, and the coolant reservoir to original which I believe was not gloss.
Would Forum Members kindly advise what the original colours were.

Re: Original colours of equipment
Upper arms were zinc plated and the lower arms galvanised. If you use Hammerite make sure it's over a very good primer - it does not do what it says on the tin!!
