the appropriate paint, technique and color to use to get as close as
possible to the original.?
Any other info on these tools?

Yes he was. Are you assuming that the color he
has now is not the original? I guess that's possible.
Seems the original color is red. Page down a bit on this link, to the Buck Rogers drill.with acetone, to make sure your new paint adheres well. Bring your drill to the store to match the proper/best red color to the drill handle.

Probably an artist's paint would work just fine... use a small artist's brush. There appear to be indentions where the paint is. The indentions appear to be deep enough that the paint won't wear off. You might need to wipe the existing painted areas

Seems to be some discrepancy here or there were differences within the same model
line.
Your link shows a 104 with red letters, other links show a 104 with black letters. Both
boxes (your link and mine) say 104:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/313835611448
Google images show both colors.

Yes he was. Are you assuming that the color he
has now is not the original? I guess that's possible.
Why else would he ask, if he can see the color now?
FWIW if he paints over existing paint, correct color or not, it would
detract from it's value, if that is the issue.
I would imagine that he does not believe that the color on the drill
that he linked to he pictured is correct.
So google would possibly give many pictures of the original colors.

He can see *a* color but he might not know *the* color it is.
I see black. According to some references, there are 105
shades of black. Obviously, many of these can be thrown out
immediately, but if he's going for a full restore, the exact black
would be nice.
https://simplicable.com/new/black-color
https://icolorpalette.com/color/pantone-black-c
As Scott mentioned, the Pantone number or the value from some
other color matching system.
FWIW if he paints over existing paint, correct color or not, it would

Agreed, and he did say "to get as close as possible" so maybe "black"
is good enough. ;-)

that he linked to he pictured is correct.

True, but Google appears to show both black and red. If black is a valid original color, then we are back to what I imagine he asking: "Which
black?"
We'll never really know unless he comes back and tells us.

Thank you all, very much, for your kind and thoughtful replies. I would like to go with
a red for the lettering to match the color of the plastic handle. Much appreciated, David

the color in the link.

Thanks for that very detailed analysis of various Miller's Falls drills
but what are you trying to point out?
I don't see the Buck Rogers/104 drill on either of those pages.
