If you decide on 30`s scheme here is painting information from my Shell sign and painting manual. If the lubester was outside it was orange-yellow and red. If it was inside it was cream.

Thanks! Going with the yellow/orange & red theme, that’s what was underneath everything when I stripped it. I will post pictures once it’s done.
