As they came from the factory the background was an imitation gold leaf. When exposed to acid rain, the copper in the color turned green. Red fades badly when exposed to ultraviolet as in sunlight. Hence some after market decals have orange instead of red …

quote Tubs:My examples aren’t that good
but as best as I can tell 4302 appears to have been 3 colors.
Has anybody have other examples to offer (kees) ?
Tubs, I have nothing to offer.
It just looks like a black and yellow decal on that model 4203, if you see the remains for the first time.
But it is wise, I think, to follow the experts in the US, when they say, it is dark blue.
And maybe?… is that close to black ???? LOL
btw; your typo ? 4302 😉 😉
and the question
"What ever you would call this color "? on the picture you send ?
it is the same as the "light yellow" , at least on my PAL
On my second PAL 4203 , no leftovers ( remains ?)
on my third PAL 4253 , no leftovers.quote Tubs:
How about some pictures of your 37 decals?
About my decal ?
basically it is pretty much the same as on this above photo or even a bit worse
except that this one has a larger spot that turned into blue and …what I meant with the outer oval , also this one is still solid and no blue spots.
well….just little fantasies😐
Black was used on the early Elto Racers before they went to orange … Dad had a set of cylinders from an Elto Speeditwin that were finished in black enamel with the ends polished & nickel plated.

Notice that the 2 Yellows seem to be
different in both examples. Looking
for more to see if that could actually be
the case. If it is convenient could you
go and take a really good look at yours.
Be sure your in good light or shine a
flashlight or something on it to see if you
can detect any variation in color.
Hi Tubs
This is my best shot
I keep it by my earlier stand /or point of view.
A black outer circle, good to see at the right.
but others might have an other idea, no problem.
btw. What decal is available and where ? I have seen only one till so far and
that is for the 4266 and its not a beauty😉
