It would never color match for sure but there are people out there who can color match very well. I've tried and sometimes can come close but it's always visible. Alignment of course is key here. If the pieces are misaligned so much that you need to sand them flat then the glue joint is not very good too. It probbaly would last just fine but it's something to think about.

Is the original finish nitro? That is also something you need to take into consideration. If it is then that's great becasue it's one of the easiest finishes to repair.

For color matching I use dyes and tint shellac to the right color and pad it on till it's about right. Then spray over with nitro.
