Re: Champion S2D restoration paint questions

[hotrod]

S2D is a ’38 standard lite twin. ’35-’38 standard models were painted dull aluminum on most all metal, including tanks & brass parts. Deluxe models had chrome tanks which were later sometimes used as replacement tanks on other models when rust-out occurred. Some ’36-’38 models used gold painted cylinders but I have no evidence for the S2D cylinders.
Your pictures seem to show nickel plated valve & fuel line. Your O’rielly paint looks right.
