I used transparent labels for laser printer.
first of all I removed the ink printed on the back side of red plexi; then I printed "LIRE 100" mirrored on the label and a white sticker on the back side to protect it and for the light diffusion

Nice work!  This sort of makes me inspired to start an archive of original coin door insert scans of various denominations/door types!

next phase: right side, this is the situation. the corner was broken so I decided to recompose the wood and remowe the white survace around  the sidart in order to have the most possible edge between white part and colored part.
once I did it i used viniig glue to prepare the surface for the new white plastic

once used the new white surface I put a transparent film on the colored parts, then I painted with "ivory spray" in order to omogenize the color. that's all.

Thank you... now I'm printing a new cp overlay but I'm not convinced existing cp is so damaged, because putting on an overlay means completely remove the existing one. I'm evaluating the possibility to make a new cp at all saving the old one

Then I decided to clean it and cover it with a sheet metal. In this case I can preserve the original overlay in case in a couple of centuries someone will decide to restore the original CP
after that I printed a new overlay on vinyl
