Here's what the Concours Guide of 2018 says:
Air cleaners were painted black in 1953 and 1954. The original air
cleaners on BN1L142618 (built 25-Aug.-53) had a black wrinkle/crackle
finish. By Jan 1955 they were painted hammertone green (see Photo =96
Figure II-3). Hammertone green was similar to engine green thru
BN2=92s. Hammertone blue air cleaners have been noted on some early
BN1s. Hammertone green can be mixed using Hammerite quart (bulk, not
spray) cans of hammertone green and silver along with some oil base
pigment from yellow and black tubes.
(Glad my 1953 used wrinkle finish black).
Have fun,
-Roland
