Dave,
With all the restorations I have to do this "Paint Color" choise has been very difficult. OMC throught all the the 70's & 80's had not set paint scheme. Most of the "Factory Motors" had just the red primer. The ones that they sold to customers were painted white or silver depending on whether it was a Johnson or Evinrude.
I have chosen to keep the PH part of the motor clean - meaning it is sandblast to the metal base. And actually this is the way that some of the best factory motors were prepared. There was no standard and this fits my plan the best.
