I recently ordered a set of decals for a JW-12, a 1956 3hp Johnson. I was underwhelmed by the quality. I plan to recreate my own as I have done in the past.
I do need some help confirming what one of the decals looks like. Its the "three" on the side of the lower shroud.
I include a picture of the one I have on the engine I am restoring. The outer circle and the inside of the #3 appear to be foil and not painted. The inner circle is the 1955-58 Johnson Cream. The outline of the circle and #3 looks like the Johnson Green Gold. There also appears to be a thin black outline on the four-pointed 'compass' shape.
Could one or more of you reply with images of original decals in better shape so I can confirm the colors?
BTW, this restoration will only begin in earnest in about 1-2 years from now, after I am finished with a 1964 JW-19. I will give it its own thread at the time.
Thank you,
Plankwalker.
