Under hood painting -- 1960 Olds

When the weather breaks I'd like to refresh the underhood paint on my 1960 Olds. The paint on some of the components -- like the power steering pump -- are faded or worn to the point where I can't tell what type of black paint is needed.

I have lots of B&W shots of 394 engine bays when the cars were new but nothing in color to act as a guide. Are there any reference guides that would tell me what the original colors are under the hood?

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Regards,
Mark

A satin finish is the norm for the 60 Olds.
