Here is an old PX10 that looked its age and was worth a repaint but it turned out great!. As far as nail paint that seems like a great idea. I've never tried it but going to give it a shot. Someone mentioned the Tester brand paint. I'm sure you can find a match. I have never tired the Tester but going to work on an Italian this weekend.

Edit: I went to look at your paint again and I think it looks rather good, IMWO.

Try Mcguires products, you can find that at PEPBOYS.




The brand is Testor's , used it as a kid on model kits, it's still around, found in hobby shops, easier to compare colors than online...

Repainting well is a lot of work. That's why it costs a lot to have a GOOD painter do it.

If you're into it, like me it can be rewarding
Cheers, Eric
