Guest robautobod Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I am restoring a 1953 Buick Special convertible. I want to put it back the way is was originally. Does anyone know what color the transmission was? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr. Buick Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 At least in my '54 Buicks, I have never seen paint on a transmission except when rebuilt.As you take the thing out, give it a good cleaning. If there was paint from the actory, it will be hiding in some crevices still.My bet was it came out naked metal. Give it a good wire-brushing and use Eastwood as-cast (semi-gloss) clear. I put that on a steering gear recently, and was pleased with the results.The fun is in the details, so have at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
