Wow! That is a beautiful combo! I’d leave that paint original just because “it’s only original once” as they say. I’ve seen a LOT of ‘56 javelins and that may be the best original paint I’ve ever seen. (Assuming it’s original that is…..) The pigment in that paint (‘56 holiday bronze) faded very quickly in the sun. I’ve seen a few faded so badly you could see the cream paint through the bronze. That one is nice!!
EDIT: can you provide some details on that boat? Or maybe a few more pictures? Man is that a pretty boat! 14 or 16 footer? What model is that one? Wood obviously, right?
