There was nothing else for it but to repaint this area completely. But first I had to remove and relevel some of the inserts, as some of them were raised, plus I had to sand the old text and clearcoat off so I could redo the text later.

Then after sanding this area with 800 grit wet&dry sandpaper and Windex, I started masking off to paint the individual colours one at a time. I’m using clear contact for the masking here, same as I have done on most of my restores in the past. First colour done was the white.

In the last pic I’m using a compass and scalpel to cut the circular sections. I double sided taped a piece of plastic the the centre insert for the compass point to dig into rather than the insert.
