There is, From fordscript.com
If one looks closely at available factory photos taken in
the Model A era and compares the shading of the engine fan
belt to other rubber components, etc, he can not help but
conclude that they were different colors. Fortunately we have
been able to find enough documentation, photos and NOS belts
to develop a special color agent to change your black, post-war
service (or modern replacement) fan belt to the correct brown.
B-108-P
Special fan belt coloring agent (it really does the job – one that normal paints can't do)
$ 24.95/half pint
The color might be right but the materials used in the making of the belt would still be wrong.
