HI Bob,
I will PM you for some added info.
Anyhow, the escutcheon is not supposed to be brass only. I have seen other models similar and their metal is painted.
Too bad about the spray can ban, you mean no way can you get a spray can, that's crazy. Not even the arts and crafts store has paint? The little can when you do find it, will last a long time. Bright "gold plating" paint it just too bright it will not look right. High polished brass will not look right either.
The Plastikote 139S has sort of a satiny finish and duller, but still metallic looking just right for the dial frame.
BTW, Jeremy's page did not come up.
Take care,
Gary.
