Churchill Hydrolastic pump original color

Post by NicholasUpton »

Restoring another hydro pump and it appear to be green for an original color, up till this one all the previous ones have been black or hammer silver color. Any ideas what the factory colors are?

I had one that was a sort of light green, the colour was similar to the later Australian engine colour

the pump had never been restored.
here is a link to what it looked like

UK Churchill pumps were covered in black plastic/vinyl.
The Australian made Austaloy pumps were blue hammertone painted.
