I believe they were unpainted originally, so to make it look new use a natural grey or cast iron color. The top cover should be unpainted use a satin clear coat to keep it nice. The bolts were silver cad plated.

Stuart - did you mean the top cover or the plug on the bottom that is held in with a snap ring? At least if it is PS, manual is somewhat different.

Sorry, I didn't see this until just now. I was thinking of a manual steering box top cover. I believe that plug on the bottom held in with the snap ring should be natural metal too.
