All in all, a very fun & cheap project :D

Thanks! :D

They offer some pretty nice stuff for vintages, good alternative if the gen parts are too expensive or can't be found

If anyone's interested I liked the result with the dial with using some ash on a q-tip to just touch the dial markers

before the paint sets. A clean q-tip cleans of excess ash after the paint has set. Can't really see it very well on the pics,

but it gives a more grey/darker area in some dial marker areas which gives a vintage appearence.
