The original cylinders were a very similar color to that…I’ll try to show pictures of mine that is original sometime soon. Mine has darkened a bit over time like an old penny out of circulation might, but it is still a very rich copper color, and the paint that tubs and you used on your motors is nearly exactly the same as I suspect that the original copper color would have been.
