What color is the original brake booster??

Hi
I got a new brake booster from MBM. It has a brass finish now. Is it supposed to be black? If so, what kind of black color should it have (color code)??

Thanks

   leave it alone.  Wish mine was replated like that one.

Are you sure that someone didn't paint it during its lifetime?

Well the paint was cracked and peeled of easy in some places but it was not zinc plated underneath for sure.

Maybe it was replaced by another one in it's lifetime, however the one i have is exactly the same as showed in the pictures here....

Maybe looking up the part in one of the original parts books would provide a description/picture that could answer that?

My very quick and dirty google search got lots of replacement parts but nothing original..

Same as I bought for mine, never got it to work. Bought a restored original one.

some OE and over the counter master cylinders had a coating on them that makes them appear black

It looks good, I'd leave as is.

Thank you for your views on this one. I believe I am going to leave it as it is, whether it is the original look or not. But what was the actual color/paint that it used to be?? (The car is a RT440 4 speed with drums all around)

It used to be just like yours is now....yellow cadmium plated

ok good, thanks.
I was thinking of spraying it with a layer or two with clearcoat to make it more resistant against rust and dirt, but I am not sure if that is a good idea. What do you think?
