lol…interesting! I think the carb on the engine now is NOS, all I did was put a rebuild kit in it. It’s the light gold color you describe. I also have another NOS carb and it’s a silverish chromate. But then I also have a gold one, and that’s the one I tried to match. All of them I think are the original finish as the bore plugs aren’t finished and neither is the air horn tube.

I cleaned the base and was going to black chromate it after a light zinc plate but paint sounds much easier!
