T500 side and tank badge colours

Post by PhilatHooton »

My 1974 T500L is in Gypsy Candy Red. The side panel badges need repainting having been bodged over the years. On stripping it looks like inside the numbers they were a metal flake orange originally? Is this right for this colour/model.
And the tank badges are bare metal except for outside the lettering which is black. Is this also correct.
Thanks in anticipation for any advice.
