John,
Use black on the washer bottle bracket, and silver on the overflow
bottle
bracket and the run-on valve bracket.
The finishes on mine were also quite deteriorated - I'm fairly sure it
was
originally paint, not plate. I just used the same silver as on the valve cover
and air
cleaner shroud (Duplicolor Truck and Van T 229). They look fine.
The washer bottle bracket in my car was black - but beyond repair
because
the foam pad was rotting away and the rubber band thingy was dried up. The new
one I puchased from TRF was also painted black.
Regards,

They've
