Hi Lee:

Does indeed look like nice work. Also looks rather expensive...

I'm thinking of trying black lacquer and building up layers. Or perhaps black
varathane will build up quicker.

Cheers,

Mark

There's a place called Allan Heywood Enamels that does cloisonne repair,
including "auto badge" repairs. But... he's in Australia. See here:

The examples on his site look very nice.
