I am rebuilding a W1 carb on a 1936 Chevy. I'm at the clean up stage.

While it's apart, should I paint the cast iron body and the tin accelerator pump cover? What color?

Thanks

What about all the linkages ect. that are attached to the carbs? Or just the cast iron body and tin cover?

Thanks

My '36 Standard, Town Sedan has natural carburetor and linkage. It has patina.
