Default Color of brake booster

Have an early 79 and doing some detailing.
What paint color was used on the early 79's?

Hi mr,
I believe you'll find that the 79 boosters were cadmium or zinc plated with a dichromate wash which gives them the gold hues.
You can get close with some gold or copper paint, maybe adding just a 'dusting' of silver.
Regards,
Alan
