Thanks Dean! Forgot to mention my father restored this one, all I did was the Mobilgas sign and the silver lettering.

First rate Paul. Interesting choice of colors for Mobil. I wouldn't necessarily think of using black. It works well for the pump.

I hate red and white, that would be the normal "go to" colors for Mobil. Some of the older Mobil stuff used red/black, we probably overused the black but I think some artistic license is OK. We saw some other Simplex pumps painted this way, liked it, so we decided to go this route.

The silver numbers pop on the black. I feel that in the hobby of pump restoration an artistic license is required. Remember, it is all about having fun. Your talent shows.

Your father's work is "spot-on" .... that is just a spectacular looking piece of work  The 3-d Mobil badge that you had printed looks amazing as well! I'm sure that took more than a few hours to complete, what a labor of love. Appreciate ya showing us all.. be well.

Thanks for the nice comments, yeah that little MobilGas stamped sign took forever, I was "off the clock" learning that process for sure.
