I think there is paint only in the grooves.

That's how they did the hubs caps. They polished them first, then painted them.
I'm sure they polished them, then paint them, which then allowed them to wipe any excess paint off the high points.

Thanks for the update. I hadn't thought about the hubcaps, but would definitely be similar.

Kevin is correct. I took good look with a bright light at my dash and there is definitely gray paint in the grooves in the die cast trim. It's very obvious in the wider central groove, but there's no doubt it is also in the fine grooves. The narrow grooves in the clock and speedometer trim rings may also have the gray paint in them. I believe one of the 120 sales brochures mentions the paint. (Antigua Gray?)

Thanks! Very helpful. No matter what, my first step is to get all the pieces cleaned and polished as best I can. That will also mean removing any paint that may still remain. Then, I can add the paint back where it belongs. I do have a NOS clock from Flackmaster. I hadn't thought about looking at it so I went and looked. It shows no sign of paint at all, just bright shiny chrome. Based on that, I would conclude that the groove in the clock and speedometer were not painted.
