From some pics of HK rounds I would say the whole cap was painted white and the black covered the whole aluminium body. I even found some black paint inside the thread of the body.

According to original factorydrawings, only the body above the drivingbands was painted black.
Original paintnr. was RLM 22, which is RAL 9004 nowadays.
Red band: RLM 23, RAL 3020.

I got these some days ago...so more work to do
I'll possibly remove the original magnewin caps and replace for newly made, preserving the original paint

Just to mention I am working on these later projectiles and the synthetic filler used in them is also whitish. They are the same maker, though. I will buy some epoxy glue/filler to do the work.
BTW I have observed they were painted below the drivind band also, just that the guy who sold them to me "cleaned" some of them too much

Thanks,
here is the second one of this group I have restored (red square). Paint is quite nice over the band...but as mentioned, seller ruined it below... I am quite confident that # 3 and # 5 in the pic will look really well once cleaned. The first one I cleaned (second from the left) had less than a 40 % paint left, due to an agressive cleaning by seller.

3cm MK 101/103 HK ÜB
Gents,
An up date with this ammo: I have recently bought some HK ÜB shells that need being restored. They are now taking a vinegar bath and having their back scrubbed. The question is...What colour to paint them?. I have seen several pics of this kind of shell...but seems they've peeled off! Pics #1 and 2 is what I have bought.

So grey they will be, thanks Klarkon. Now that know, I see the are some bit of blueish grey on those shells in the pics. Ah!. no trace of the three arrows pointing to the tip.

Nice project, Carles.. I've finished one of those lately, same condition..
The pitting has made the projectile a bit smaller, so I've brought it back to real dimensions with some metal filler.
It has a perfect fit now, grey color with a red ring for Leuchtspur.
Also found some nice belt links for MK108 with minimal damage..
Will post some pics if you like ..
Nice pictures, Klarkon !
