Thanks Eric, that helps. Can you post a photo that shows the base in better focus? Does it look like the black finish was a solid pigment like paint, or more of a somewhat tranlucent wash? On my original pictured above it looked more translucent, but it appears yours may be more solid in color.

I have a can of matte clear model paint coming. The difficulty finding this part is why I am excited to try to find a way to replicate it cheaply, but in a reasonably accurate manner.
