Looks like those hoods are from manual start motors. The electric start had the evinrude script in the dark gray painted area and an “electric starting” script in the white painted area toward the rear. The front of the hood said “BigTwin Electric 35” instead of “Evinrude BigTwin 35”. I would paint the entire hood polychromatic blue, let it cure well, then paint the “bulged out” area on the sides with the white, then mask and add the gray to the appropriate areas.
Yes, both hoods from manual start motors.
Your paint method sounds “sound” to me!
If it runs, I will proceed with the hood. I need to
get the paint and some “fine line” tape.
Thanks!
Prepare to be boarded!
