Hello Tommy,

You have done a fantastic job.
What shade did you take for the foundation? Is it midnight blue?

I'm sorry it took so long to reply. No, I painted the base, or foundation, black.
When I first received the engine, the finish on the base was so bad that it looked
like it was originally black but the paint was breaking down and losing pigment.
Several years after it was done, I realized my mistake and just left it.
