I recently acquired a Kirby Model 562. The handle grip, bag guard and bag top are all a bronze color with a metallic shimmer. However, the rest of the trim is this light chocolate color. Does anyone know if ALL trim (including the headlight and bumper) would have been that bronze color? The part number on the headlight trim is 161956. It also has M-65 stamped on it. When I eventually get around to restoring it, I want to make sure the headlight trim and nozzle bumper are as close to the original color as I can get them. Spraying them out with vinyl/plastic paint is an easy process. I just want to make sure the color is correct. Thanks!

I have the original white and tan cord, but it has several breaks in the outer insulation and therefore isn't in very good shape. I'll clean it up and keep it, but I won't use it. A little too risky I think. I have a couple of friends who confirmed the differences in trim color. Now the challenge will be to find the right color plastic/vinyl paint that will closely match the original.
