In this kind of case it might not be so good to ask that question. You seem
to be doing your best to make the plate look original. Had you just painted
it and replaced it, no one would know. If you ask, you may not like the
answer. Most license plates vary a little in color anyway, depending on paint
batch, age, weathering, acid rain, etc.
I'd suggest you ask about paint at a good hobby shop, and take the plate with
you. A license plate is small enough that you should be able to get the
correct supplies there, and hobby shop people are as zealous about their
knowledge as we are about Spridgets!
Good luck,
