History and color schemes of West Bend Engines

[maggiemini]

I am having a West Bend engine rebuilt / restored and wanted to know what the engine should look like for use on a 1964 Taco with Hot Sauce.
Does someone have a log of serial numbers of the engine to determines it's year of manufacture and what color should it be?
I have seen the 820 fully paineted a champagne color, fully painted silver-gray painted, no paint at all, polished,etc.
Just trying to figure the correct color or not for my year Taco.
Who's the guru of West Bend engines??

TacoBill would be a good resource as well. He probably has at least one of the minibikes you have!
