Hello<br /><br />Any techniques to making an old motor cover (well cover is probably not the best word I mean the thing the cover goes on, the metal that fits over the whole shebang. hood?, casing?, top?, enclosure?, what is it called anyway?) look original and new? I suppose you sand and paint it like an auto body but what about the decals or painted on names. I would really like to see<br />some project pics of such an undertaking. <br />My 1957 18 HP Johnson seahorse was sprayed over somewhat, probably many years ago and yet some of the writing still shows through. I would really want to paint it original but am not even sure what colour it was. Is there a way to find these things out .<br /><br />Thanks
