I thought about matching the colour on the "Auto Drive" lettering, but there is just not enough of it to get an accurate match. I also thought about the zip starter colour, but again decided against it as it would have faded loads over time. Your suggestion to use the underside of the zip starter is something I simply overlooked....Thank you..!!
My plan now is to take the starter to a paint shop so they can get densitometer readings from both the underside and topside, hopefully I should end up with a colour which is between the two... Solved....!!!
Max, I really cant thank you enough for taking the time and effort to help me with this. I was stumped for a while there, you really are a true Gent..!!
I really appreciate all the help you guys have given me here and hope that this post (along with Max's superb efforts) will help others also looking to do something similar in the future. I will of course be the guinea pig and post the pics of how good (or bad) it turns out in the end when I finally get it done.... this will be sorted out before Xmas.
