MG TD TF 1500 - Shaken not Stirred

Readers may have seen my previous post about refurbishing steering wheels. The issue of replicating the marbelled effect was raised. I have been experimenting and tried mixing colourant into a small amount of gell coat resin and then carefully pouring this into the more fluid casting resin. Stirring was useless but a gentle shake did produce marvelling. I attach a photo showing the results of a very small scale trial. I think by catalysing the coloured gell resin and leaving it for a few minutes to start to set could work even better. I need to by more shades of colourant. Does anyone have suggestions for the major colour and for that of the streaks? I have a spare steering wheel and can use the mould aI have made to try to produce a marbelled rim.
