What can we do on snowy and cold weather if we can not heat our garage - right - restoration work in the living room 8-)

herewith a pic of my dashboard after est. 30 hours of cleaning and painting...
Do not wonder about the blue high beam control light. It is law in germany!

also I spend some time on my non working toro-clock. With carefull dismounting, cleaning and oiling the clock alive again:

Wow, that's pretty. Very nice work. I was planning on repairing my clock this winter... but I've been too lazy apparently....

Thank you folks :D

In addition next step and question please:

I just strip the rear end panel molding. As you can see at the pic, may different colours were painted on sections of the factory full chrome plated panel. Dark blue, light blue, white, silver and black I recognized.

Seems the first colour sprayed on was black overall - may be as a primer ? Next colour was silver or an aluminium like colour.
I believe that the parts above the rear lens were silver (Toronado sign was on it as you can see). The fuel filler section silver also. The long part at the bottom of the lights matt or satin black.

Was that the factory paint on it? Was a body coloured rear panel molding an option ?
