What color was the valve cover retainer spring on a 356C? Those who know for sure, please reply asap as I am about to leave for the powder coater. Thanks!

While I'm hardly an expert, as I recall every purportedly unrestored car I've seen had the bales the same color as the valve covers themselves.

Our NOS bales are black paint, fairly glossy. That's p/n 369 04 240.

As an added input -
The valve covers on my original unrestored `65C are cad plated, the bales are painted semi-gloss black.
