Post Original shroud /fan colors!

I am polishing out my fan, but am wondering what color the shroud was on a factory new car (87 911)? Is it the same bright magnesium color of the fan? I am thinking of painting/powdercoating the shroud black unless it would be more appropriate to go w/a silver color.

Thanks,
Michael

Here's my deal...
If you polish the fan itself, it wouldn't be all that hard to keep it looking nice.
But if you try to polish the shroud, I think it would be a bear to get in there to keep it looking nice. Unless you just want to remove the whole thing every month or so to brighten it up. I suggest you do what I'm going to do. Polish the fan and powdercoat the shroud Screw originality!

My shroud/fan was blasted and painted factory colors. I'm no purist, you do what you want. This is just what it would look like:
