Nice work tfonzart!
Catching up on replies Icon_smile

If and when you address the metal escutcheon, I found that Duplicolor 'Brass" is close to original. They used to have shorty spray can in their Odds n Ends paint line. It looked good and didn't have the flashy, cheap look of other "gold" paints.

The reproduction pushbuttons really make a difference.
Take care!
