Does Anyone Know the Color Code for the Green that is used on the Starter and Generators of Early 25/40s? Getting ready to repaint mine.
Thanks,

Well I did some digging and it looks like Destin used hunter green on his starter and generator, so I will do the same. His looks pretty damn good.
wasn't the paint on the starter/ generator two shades of green. At least all the ones I have come across were.....I had them matched at the local paint shop in town for my LV resto. I'll see if I can dig up some pics tomorrow.

My generators have all been black or close to. I do have starter that is clearly green. Problem so many starters have taken to shops over the years and were repainted after a rebuild to look new. Most common color used was black.
finally found the pics I was looking for.... these are from a '64 so maybe the early 40's were black and they switched to green in the mid-60's
another example of a green starter from an early 40, this one on a '64

Here is my 2. I was going to go to the moulding shop, they have a good selection of small spray cans.

my starter is def green, as is the coil. not sure if the generator ever was, will have to look closer.
Starter , coil, AND distributor body were green.

Looks like mine 62 starter and alternator are all factory. Starter 2 tones of green, alternator is green with.... Well, nothing. Dizzy is blank aluminium, covered with dirt.

our gen is green on back end only and dizzy is alum also.
If you still have this, can you still read the oval emblem on the c starter?
