Hi Chris,
I'd tend to go for the old humbrol tins again they seem good for most things, you dont want a white that will go yellow with age,nearly did my side panel badge the other day.

thanks for that information,looks like i am buying a few tins now for my Zed.
Is it a white matt,or satin that would be the best match.

regards Chris.

Good question Chris,
I would have gone for Gloss white,looking at a new tank badge I fitted to mine there is a shine to the paint not a sheen,you may have to do a test to match up,wouldnt have said matt was the right finish.
Hope this helps.
Steve
