Best appreciated when open.

Whilst it's not my cup of tea, I recognise the amount of work you must have put in to do the job that well!
Kar was my first 300, it's the high of taste and sophistication....

I used standard car paint sprayed in a cap and used cotton ear bubs to apply but first do the same with white primer then when its painted used fine sand paper and stanley blade to neaten up over paint .i took the cover off the clocks and put it in the sink in boiling hot water and keep taking it out gently leaver it apart with a knife. try not to stab your self in the hand like me .ouch..
