Help Me Choose the Right Paint Job for my New Tank!

And another

Sorry for the multi-posts

Thanks for the advice guys, please keep it coming if you have ideas.

Balloon, thanks for the catalog shots! I have a few of those, the problem is that they are all Murray (MO) built bikes and mine is a Westfield. I am guessing (but do not know) that the schemes are all different between builders.

I do really like the tan/orange tank design and am leaning that way in black/white of course. However if I could ever find a Westfield catalog from '39 (even Leon didn't have one), I might know which is more correct for my bike.

Does anyone have any good shots of that tank that I could replicate? The tan/orange tank design.

Here is another one...if I remember right, I think the paint was original but I would have to confirm

I'd go with the orange one.

I sold that orange Elgin but here's about the best pic I have of the tank - I think someone else here on the Cabe has the same bike - maybe he's got a better pic.

Thanks so much! That's clear enough for me to replicate it accurately!
