About done with the 38 3 gill, debating on which tank paint scheme, mostly red is the 1 yr only 38 tank, mostly black is a 39 OG paint tank I had on it till I found the right one.

Ok here is the decal on the back fender of your '38 RMS (Larkin's old bike) So is the outside ring supposed to be red, yellow, or gold? V/r Shawn

Gold.

Available from Gus Salmon Precision Graphics.

For the decal perverts, this is one of my NOS early winged CWC decals, unadulterated by the ravishes of time.

Interesting to note that the gold color has a lot of sparkle like metal flake, it’s not a flat gold color.

That may be true, for the pre 38 Winged CWC decal, but to assume that is the case for the post 37 Master Weld decal is probably a mistake.

This example of the Master Weld decal is still in pretty good shape, and shows no sign of the sparkle or flake appearance that the Winged CWC decal shows.
That isn’t to say, that is the definitive truth, but just to say, until someone produces an n o s, unravaged by time example of the Master Weld decal, I’m going to say, no sparkle in the gold on the post 37 Master Weld decal.
Just my personal opinion, please prove me wrong, so that we can get it right, once and for all.

I agree Marty, I was only referencing the winged decal, I should have been more specific.
We should not assume the same for the Master Weld decal.
