Center medallion

Needing to restore the plastic medallion that goes in the center of the grill opening. The back blue is fading. The "Talbot Hound" (not a lion apparently) looks good. Assuming I could sand the flat back part and repaint. Any direction as to what blue to use? Looks a bit purple.
Also- same question for the plastic motif badge inserts for the fenders- gloss or semigloss black?
Thanks, David

Sunbeam Specialties used to sell both those items, don't know the availability these days. What ever happened with your slave cyl. issue?

Still the saga. The slave did have the flange on the front of the bellhousing, but swapping it did not fix the problem. We plan to pull the engine and trans in 3 days. Will look to make sure the disc is not flipped, the pilot bearing is not binding, T/O bearing looks OK, and the plate and clutch cover match up. Any chance the clutch lever could have bent?
Appreciate all of the suggestions. Will update once we have more info.
