I spent a couple hours today on blending in the patina. I used Dark Hunter Green from Rustoleum. It's a pretty darn close match to the paint on the fender which I believe is original paint.

I think I could sand on it some more to bring out more of the maroon, but for now, I'm pretty pleased with it. After final sanding with 2000 grit, I used some rubbing compound to take out the sanding marks
