With most of these models (finished metal) there are rivet
type things
underneath that can be drilled out and the model will come apart
in a few
pieces. Then repaint the interior your color and replace the
rivet with a screw.
I have done this with a Lotus Seven and did a complete
repaint of a Morris
Traveler to match my own.
