This looks very promising! Now I'm just curious how you are going to precisely redo the black trim around the windows... if you can pull this off, the outcome of this project will be really awesome!
Is there any other material you can use to replace the broken rear quarter window?

For the window I think I'll push the two parts against each other without glue between it and glue them like that against the window trim.

^ O'Rielley's and others sell paint touch-up "pens" that have a ballpoint pen on one end and a brush in the other. You can get the black you need there, and the gold for the crest.

The permanent black marker would be my approach as well. Try it inside where it won't show - it should be pretty glossy.
You can get silver pens - no idea how well that would work, but again, worth a try inside somewhere.

Well, I haven't thought much about it yet, but I'll probably just get a black marker cause it has to be real tight. And brush and tight don't go well together in my hands Only downside is that it won't be matte black then. Hmm...

When you are done, will you please pain up an oakgreen one for me? I would like a cork/pascha interior, but with a black dash, console, and armrests.

I wonder why strip it? Just shoot the new colour right on top.

It would be like applying 1/4" of paint to your car in full size.

The flakes will be so large that it will look pretty bad. You need model paint, with much, much finer flakes.
Even a cheap Harbor Freight airbrush usually does better than a rattle can.
