    Verifying correct color and finish on engine valve covers for a 1969 911T

    I wanted to verify what the correct color and finish the engine valve covers should be on a 1969 911T. I believe they should be all satin black but want to reach out to the forum to validate my presumption.
    Thanks in advance.

    I've always thought the black paint started in 70.

    I've seen numerous 69 cars with the original magnesium covers without paint, including my own. Not sure if it would be different for a T but can't see why it would.

    Curious if others know something different

    MY69 late build date and they were natural, but then again it is a 43 year old car so not sure what the PO may have done.
