Sunburst clocks - Beyond Tiki

Mine's face is kind of scratched up, the 11 is worn off and was redrawn with a jiffy marker. I'd like to get it working and pretty it up a bit. Possibly either chrome or paint silver the metal bits and give it a new face? The white paint of the little starburst on the face is worn, and doesn't look it's best. The chrome(brass?) colour on the spikes is wearing off, revealing what looks like white plastic underneath, although it's definitely metal. This'll look super swell in my 50s/60s dining room, I can't wait to fix it up! Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks! :)
