Ok I’m assuming the the correct color is the lighter color dull aluminum.. Debating which color would be easier to change . Everything has clear on it .
The tank ,front cover, plug covers , and mounting bracket are all the darker color . Everything else is I assume the correct lighter color . What are my chances of taping off the decals without tearing them up .
There is 4 light coats of clear on the decals before I installed them ..

It looks pretty nice. I think I’d be tempted to leave well enough alone.

If it were me, I would leave the tank alone and use whatever color you used on the tank as your standard. JMHO

I also had a problem with Reprotint Dull Aluminum paint with two different shades. Other than the Dull Aluminum, I haven’t noticed differences in the other colors.

Nice job on the restoration! Looks like a nice show motor!

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
