I'm working on a very low mileage BN2 and have discovered that the 2
radiator support brackets, one of which has the rubber bonnet stay clip on
it aren't actually black. They are a dark grey actually the same colour as
the industrial shelving in my garage?
These are definitely the original colour and never been repainted.
In this pic one is shown next to fresh gloss black.
Anyone encountered this before?

I would bet that that apprentice charged with supplying paint had some grey
or white paint left over and rather than throw out scarce paint mixed it
into black until it looked black enough.  It was used up by the next batch.
