Bracket is not painted, polished metal and motor is aluminum painted (I
have seen both black and aluminum, I used aluminum because it goes
better with the Laurel Green paint I used)

Black: matte Any corrections from the list is welcomed. I also recall
someone having a list of TR6 paint specifications for parts. Not sure if
this was on someone's web site or possible it has been added to the VTR
site (haven't visited it in a while). If you have any other parts or
areas you'd like clarification, please ask (a commom mistake is that the
bonnet support bar should be painted black (semigloss) while the holding
mount when the bar is down should be painted the colour of the car).
Hope this helps.

AND A VERY STRANGE ONE:
front trunnions are brass, but I think that I can see traces of black
Wrong, in a rarely known fact, the TR6 painted the right (starboard)
trunnion bright green and the left (port) trunnion bright red.
This paint didn't stick very well, so is impossible to see except on
a most original car or properly prepared Concours example.
The Dupont Old World colour codes for these rare colors are A-123/456.
The trunnions were originally used on the Spitfloat racing barge.
Hence the colorful heritage...
