Under the name tag on my 2 cylinder was an area of original paint. I have tried to reproduce it with my digital camera but it is not accurate. I have to say it is definately green. (darker green).
The pictures attached show the cap of the Ford '31 engine paint color next to the old paint and then the second photo shows the scrapings of green paint wiped up on a rag with thinner. This photo has the same color as the old finish when you "eyeball" it. I believe the problem with the canera is that the top surface reflectivity under flash is confusing the automatic color determination software. The rag
does not reflect nearly as much light. |

Dunn color, just what I wanted to ask the board! My long back burner project is the single cyl model, about 2hp I guess. The plan is get the motor completed and running then put it in a 1905 C.D. Mower designed 18ft power dory "Bonito". The boat is lofted and I have about 95% of the motor. Ads in contemorary magazines list Dunn until about 1922 or so but I'm not sure how to date my motor. Was the head chromed or nickled??? It looks shiny in the ads. Thanks!

Well Ed, I do not have a Dunn single. The heads on my twin were very rough castings and I found no trace of any plating at all on them. BUT, the single cylinder Dunn pictured here lately did have a head that seemed to be weathered nickel
plate. Have you seen those images? |
