I did an early 6hp restoration. Cowling was Rustoleum Sand color and lower unit was a dull aluminum. American Outboards used to have decals for them but I bought them years ago so don’t know if they are still available. The later 6hp shift motor is a blue cowling with dull aluminum lower unit. They are basically a lawnmower engine with an oil pump. Not hard to work on if it’s a non-shift motor. Can’t help with the shift type lower unit though. I’m sure someone will be able to help with the shift type. Every now and then you can find someone at an AOMCI meet who has experience with these outboards. I sold my Lauson years ago so I don’t have anything to refer to other than aging memories.
