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

Thanks Howard, I guess in the end so long as I have a badge on it. It is funny that I am worried about the colour when really I should be pleased that I can even get an emblem 75 years later and I don't have to leave my lounge chair to do it.
Cheers

My cab 11 has a chrome badge painted OD. That looks original.
Think about it. If a Stuka was buzzing around overhead would you want some bright shiny chrome to announce your presence?
