To remove the rim I place the lamp face down on a flat surface covered with the non slip matting which is sold for tool drawer lining or motor home applications. This grips the rim/glass whilst pressing down and rotating the lamp body. They can be difficult though!!
I would post a pic but this site defeats me!
The paint finish was indeed a very thin japanned coating. I did find the recipe for this once in an old motoring book which I showed to a chemistry colleague. He warned me off it commenting that it was almost as lethal as plutonium!! I use an aerosol can of black Plastic-Kote not plastic coating but an excellent finish.
The RN sunroof has a unique pull handle I’m sure that David Mann a correspondent of these pages could furnish pictures as he is the go to RN guru.
