Hey Richard. Looks like a great project that I can’t help you with but you already have a lot of great help. I see you’re new to the organization and the forum and it’s great to see new members coming in.

Welcome!

Oh man this is going to be fun. Thank you so much for the advice. I am surprised that there was no paint. The restored one at the Velo Museum has paint. It will be much better if I don’t have to paint. Do you have any photos of restroed Johnson Outboards of that vintage? The cosmetics are what interest me .

This is an unrestored 1926 model but basically same as yours.Cylinders were originally nickel plated so you could use “silvery” color paint on yours if you want.

what a great looking motor. Early in this post I placed a photo of the 1925 Johnson at the Velo museum in Velo Ill. It has some nice trim paint on it. What do you think of this?

I intend to use the motor in the annual boat parade in NH at Lake Winnipesauke in July. I will put it on a vintage row boat – if I can find one- and motor along with the fancy Chris Crafts. Its a big deal

Thanks for sharing

If you are asking about the red paint on the rope plate and flywheel,I am not a fan.
