I have been able to get my clock to work. while it's disassembled I want to repaint the hands. the hour hand is currently a faded red-ish orange, but the minute hand is off white on the stem, but the same red-ish orange on the core - which doesn't show as it's under the second hand (which is chrome). I'm guessing that the minute and hour hands are both probably the same - based on Ford vintage clock pictures I've seen online. though none are for Skyliner. So I'm guessing that the minute hand has faded off the red-ish color.

Thought that I would check with you all first. thanks!
