    Ok, I was wrong..

    Only thing left to do is buff the belt cover and fill in the letters with white paint!

    Ok, I was wrong..

    Not the greatest color match but it will do. Slate grey would not work as the tool kit is blue and the old paint had a blue tint. But then the old paint was so faded and damaged I am not 100% sure what it is supposed to look like, as the only other images I can find are B&W.

    The Machine to Launch an Empire
