OK, so I think I'm done with the dial cleaning. I still need to touch-up a few ding areas. I'll be going to Home Depot tomorrow to get some paint chip samples to see how close I can get to the current dial color. I thought I knew what color it was but all the sample chips I got at Lowe's today were way off. I'm going to Home Depot as I have Behr's app for color matching and Behr is only sold at Home Depot. I checked-in with my artist son and we have tentatively set Saturday, April 2nd as the date he will pen my name on the clock and paint-over the fading numerals and perhaps the points that mark the seconds and minutes. If that date doesn't work, we will try another. I put yet another coat of wax on the hood and dial door and I must say, they are starting to look like furniture. I want to get the hood and dial door done as I still need to install the glass and the dial door knob but have to finish waxing first. Enjoy the pics below! Click on photos to enlarge.
