Question Does anyone own an NOS single-wall disconnect plate?

Does any of you guys own an NOS single-wall disconnect plate
or one that is in new condition, color-wise?

As many of you know, I've been making restoration decals for
the dome light disconnect plates in the Blazer single wall tops.

With the ones I've made so far, I've had to wing the background
color because the samples I've had were all very faded and the
colors varied greatly from plate to plate.

Tom Vogel's before and after (below) shows what I'm talking
about as far as fading.


Oh, BTW Tom...I put your pic on the web...now you're famous!!


What I need is a very good photograph, at the very least,
so I can fine tune my decals to the point of being exact replicas.

I like the color of my decals...just not sure how correct they are
and I'm planning on approaching GM for a "licensed product" on
my decal but want them spot-on before I do.

Thanks for your help in advance and many, many thanks to
you guys that have bought my stickers!


Holiday Cheers,
Ellen

I think the background color is the only thing you could improve on.... Font and color of letters is spot on. As you can tell, mine looks WAY better than the old worn out plate.
