Thanks everyone for your help.
David that makes sense, and also I wasn't sure if it was just a Macs thing with the colours.

Tony and Cliff, that is good to know I like the chrome idea, although Niels red and chrome emblem does stand out.

Niels thanks for the photo. I like that.

Keith, I have never seen an original blitz emblem in the flesh, but the ebay car one I have has even started losing its chrome.
I didn't mean olive drab literally, I call every dark green that isn't gloss, olive drab. In the old days I made my own non gloss green out of Caterpillar yellow undercoat and chassis black. I am not painting yet but I am going to phone Florite soon, do they do spray cans?

Cheers Ken
