Unless it will physically chip off the clips they were PROBABLY not semi gloss paint, they are in all likely hood black passivation of ZINC (which would offer MUCH more corrosion resistance than black semigloss paint (the fuel block "Y" is also black passivation of ZINC). The reason I say this is the Olive clips were not painted they were OLIVE passivation of ZINC - which is the toughest ZINC passivation. Black fuel line and olive fuel line clamps that I have tested do not "chip"Olive is toughest with Black being the next toughest. With the blue dye, I AM SURE it was over ZINC plating.
Here's my attempt at replicating original fuel and brake line clip finishes:Brake line clip - Testers Olive Green aerosolFuel line clips - more experimentation on this one.....let me know which you think looks the most like the originals

Great pics Lloyd, thanks for posting. Curious as to why you decided to change the front two clips from natural or clear zinc noted in your take-off pic early in the thread to the translucent blue at install?
Great work Lloyd... beautiful!

Curious as to why you decided to change the front two clips from natural or clear zinc noted in your take-off pic early in the thread to the translucent blue at install? Fair question. I did some further investigation and from other examples I was shown I concluded the front clips (engine compartment) were blue rather than non-colored. Engine heat cycles, the effects of oil as a solvent and environmental elements dissolved the color finish over time.
