Update on badge bodging:
Several coats of paint have been left to harden before cutting back, and it still looked a bit too bright and shiny. At my age I can't afford to wait for the weather to weather it, so I've subdued it with a couple of coats of matt varnish, followed by a coat of gloss lacquer. I'm hoping that the pumice will give the impression of paint fading in sunshine, and the gloss will look like hours of reverential polishing.
