1956 Evinrude color match, approximate

[Jdunham]

Hello,
One of the "parts" motors that I picked up to put my 1957 evinrude lark back in the water was another 57 lark, complete enough to not take parts from but instead also fix.
The real issue with it is the color. Someone took the time to take it all apart and paint it bright metal flake pink.
Its awful, it makes me sad every time I look at it.
I want to see what the 57 trim looks like if I do a variation of the 56 colors on the cowl.

To that end, does anyone know reasonably close off the shelf match in rattle cans?

I need the charcoal grey, aqua white, and polychromatic grey. I would prefer not to waste the quality match stuff on this experiment if I can get close in the cheap stuff.
Easily available near me are Rustoleom and Krylon. There are a couple of auto parts stores that do match in a can but that is much more expensive and I dont have sample anyway.

I have not restored it, but here is my '56 Lark with what I can only assume is the original paint (I haven't seen any evidence that it was repainted.)

apologies for the duplicate post, server error.

Thanks Piomarine,
That is a different paint scheme than I have seen so far. Pictures of original paint seem to a be somewhat rare, it is possible that the colors that I saw and liked are not original. This is what I was considering.

Please excuse my "paint" skills. MS paint is not really a great tool for this but it does convey the idea.
The trim on the 57 is a little different so I moved the color change lines around a little.

Jd , you should join the AOMCI If you haven't already .. They should be able to answer most any questions you have on your motor ..
But if your just experimenting just pickup what you like from the cheap stuff and go to town on it .. Good thing on paint ,its easy to change if you don't like it ..
