    Hello Matt, it has been my experience that OMC used a zinc chromate primer under their top coat.  The entire hood got painted white then the red was added.  Under the hood was all red or Holiday Bronze as the company called it.  Johnson had three years of red/white motors all were called Holiday Bronze and all were different shades.  I was looking for a good picture of a ’58.  I don’t have a 35 but I have a couple 18’s.
