Hi all. I am trying to complete a project. Recently I purchased a grenade. I cleaned the shell and lightly repainted over with a thin new coat of shellac. It is now a lovely dark brown colour. I replaced the centre piece, spring, striker, ringpull, and base. I have aquired an original lever. I have cleaned this lever to bare metal, the question is how do I match the lever (silver) to the colour of the grenade dark (brown)? I have tried just painting with a few coats of shellac but it is just not dark enough. Any ideas?
