      I have a 1965 Johnson 6hp that has been repainted kinda poorly.  Cleaning the old paint off it looks like the whole engine was an off white/light beige color.  However in looking at the 1965 advertising brochure, it would appear that just the cover/cowl was the  light beige color and the rest of the motor was a light gray.

      Anyone know what the color should be, thanks

        The upper cowl color was called Warm White and the rest of the motor was French Silver.

            Engine is fine, but as I have a NOS powerhead in the box still, I am going to put that in and freshen the engine up cosmetically while I am at it.
