I have a restoration project underway including boat, motor (1959 Mark 35AE) and controls. I'm starting with the controls.
When I stripped them there was no primer underneath but I decided to do a Zinc Chromate primer anyway. But before I paint I'd like to know what colours for the box and controls are correct for 1959. The colours on the controls that i stripped were: Wrinkle Black box and throttle lever with Cloud White shift lever. I've seen combinations with a Wrinkle Black box and throttle lever with silver shifter and also quicksilver green box and throttle lever with silver shifter.
What year goes with what colours? I'm guessing that WB and CW are correct for 1959(??) but what about the other combos?
