Default Gents Flame Proof Clock

I got hold of this clock about 6 months ago from a flea market.
I wonder if anyone has any tips for restoring.
Obviously it’s going to be a major job But even in this condition The clock mechanism pulses On a battery. So that’s a good start.
I got 3 main questions .
1 does any one know what colour grey it should be as I’m having trouble finding a good match. (It’s grey under the white gloss paint)
2 next problem is the Gents Flame proof logo is peeling off the plate . Not sure how to stabilise that. I could varnish over but I think it would peal off again long term
3 does anyone know what tool fits the triangle shape bolts. There is very little clearance round the outside.
It’s not going to be a quick project so I’m in no hurry.
Just looking for any ideas Andy
