Carb finish
 
I have a '65 Pontiac tripower setup that I'm starting to clean up and get correct. I would like to get the carbs back to original appearance/finish. I can rebuild them, just looking for advice on the coloring. I appreciate your input, thanks.

I used Caswell Yellow Zinc to color my 1969 2bbl. Takes some trial and error to get right though. A before and after kinda pic :) ( they are two carbs, but it shows what I started with )

I have a Caswell kit, but haven't even opened the box yet.

Almost all the restored carbs are way to bright. Don't get me wrong, they look awesome. Just weren't that bright from the factory. They do fade over time, so maybe after a few years, they are back to correct color. Have to check the one on my Z; been there for 13 years now.
