Very interesting to read.
I couldn't remove riveted handles - a step too far - but removing the bolted stops for the bonnet latches revealed a different colour each side... the brown definitely takes a polish, as does the charcoaly blue/black.
With a late car, I'm wondering whether (a) its primer, or (b) its been a runout sale and thus repainted... from brown. There is a lot round the handles too - what are people's thoughts [who found brown or black] on primer - or not? Ledgers show 'blue'.
