Clock refurb

(1/3) > >>

10tenmen:
Just started on the refurbishment of my 400f clocks largely due to fading of the dial fascia, the actual glass was filthy but has cleaned up really well. I also had a horrible bent trip meter shaft that has been successfully straightened.
I have ordered the new dials from CB750 faces along with the rubber grommet for the trip.

I managed to warm up the twist bit for the trip and pry it off saving me unscrewing the trip shaft.
Anyone any ideas for what paint to use for the needle ends which is a red colour originally, also what colour is the black on the surround gloss or matt, I’m going to wet and dry them before painting.
Thanks Gary

I used bright red  Humbrol model paint on my needle. That was the easiest part of the job.
The outer case is satin black.

Revell SM332 same colour available in Humbrol but not sure of their reference number. Available from most model shops in very small tins
