Color-Mounts attached to engine

[motorman7]

Does anyone know the "official color" of the mounts attached to the engine (The pieces going from the rubber part to the engine block). On my original '70, I have one mostly blue and one mostly black. Go figure. They look to be originally blue with black overspray. I am doing my best to keep the car as original as possible, but this one has me perplexed. Would prefer to have them both the same color.

I believe they were originally black, but the block was painted with them mounted (along with several other components). That is why we see examples that range from all black to all blue and combinations in between. I think you can paint them either way and it would still be correct. Engine painting was discussed in this thread a few months ago http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32937.
