Adrian,
some Blic distributor caps are a brown and some a reddish colour. I suspect the reddish ones were painted with a red insulating varnish when new.
Once you have cooked the cap and removed as much moisture as you can. You can use a hygrometer to check how dry you have got it.
Then I would try a high voltage insulating varnish. Varnish inside and out and when completely dry clean the contacts inside.
Hope this helps.
