Topic: "Teal" blue power steering pump?

My two cents; I am not a judge but your two photos look to be in the range of acceptability for MCA judging. I have not seen an original pump or a correctly restored pump that looks like Pontiac engine paint. Maybe there were some, I have not seen them all.

Thanks for the comment. I have since sprayed the 2nd coat. What a mistake that was, apparently the first coat was too fresh. (we all know what happened here). I did end up with an acceptable job but will likely repaint it after running a bench test of sorts. You know how it is recommended to keep the vanes in place, do not take those out? Well crap happened twice on this pump rebuild...may be hunting another pump before I am done! Oh, it went back together just fine but I cannot imagine it was ideal to pick pieces of the pump up in the surrounding area and simply (randomly) insert any vane in any old slot. We'll see when I power it up with fluid in it.
