Those rockers are a weird grey green. I noticed my top one has bleached a bit I guess because heat collects in there but front and rear were fine. It needs 5o be heat proof. I think I found a Volvo halfords can similar but not matched with an original. Mine were painted an awful metal flake gloss black. I may redo them and use a heat proof paint as undercoat and then use as a top coat. Also Darkness may have an original. My frame is off soon to be sprayed professionally this time.

The engine was removed of all paint and heads and barrels and valve covers vapour blasted.
The clutch and generator and crankcases were etch primered and painted aluminium heat proof Simoniz aerosol from ebay . The gen cover and clutch case were then spray over a more silver wheel colour and then satin lacquered Simoniz again. The barrel again Simoniz matt black heat paint
I never painted the heads and left bare.
