What is the color of the lower half of the late 60's Johnson engines? Looks like a faded greenish grey on my old 40hp. I want to repaint it and get the color somewhat close. Mike

dodger, Usually the original factory shop manual has such colors listed and the color codes. However, I can't search that far back to see a break down on your engine and therefore I can't see what those colors are. Did you search the net for the colors? Some place refurbish older engines and they could have the correct colors for it. IDK. I was wondering the same thing when I rebuilt my '76 Johnson 40HP engine. And since it didn't have any collectors value, I made my own color scheme and painted it. You can see it if you want be clicking on the Johnson Engine rebuild link below... JMHO!
