Thanks Fred and Sam, the dial is the thick clear plastic and under it is a paper backed gold foil that just lays under the plastic.  I put a new foil over the old one to brighten it up a little.  The dial pointer also needed a gold paint spray as much of the original gold color had been worn off.
Cheers,
Bob
