I’ve Been working on my windshield wiper motor after removing the motor cover and setting it a side I completed my inspection of the brushes and cleaned it up a bit with wd 40. The cover has some small dents and chips in the paint so while I have it off I decided to repaint it. after closer inspection I started picking at one of the chips and it appeared to be brass under the paint. Used a razor blade to remove the paint wet sanded a section of the cover and used never-dull, wow it look great. Am I correct in assuming it came form the factory unpainted brass ?
Thanks Paul

I am pretty sure nothing on the Model A was bare brass. I seem to recall that the judging standards say black.

It sounds like you have a Heinze wiper HA-C1 with the brass cover. It was originally dipped in gloss black enamel.

No polished brass one that I'm aware of.

Thank you all, the inside of the cover has black paint.
