Re: 1930 Elto Senior Speedster paint scheme

[PM T2]

The casting that bolts to the lower unit is supposed to be black, as is the tiller arm.

I know on the Super C, the muffler ends were painted black but the edges of the ribs were polished.

All other motor parts, including the cylinder, were painted dull aluminum, or silver, if you will. I think you may find that if you wash off motor parts with lacquer thinner, you’ll see the silver paint start showing up in your thinner bath.

I’m not aware of any gray paint being applied to these motors.

The tank was polished with the decal providing the colour splash.

Hope this helps.

best,
