I would love to restore the face plate, but what can I do except try to paint the areas that have flaked off? I wouldn't be able to match the colour and I don't know any methods to print or transfer to it. I think I will end up just buying a replacement or donating one from another speccy.

Unless anybody has any tips for me!

I restored one face plate that was a bit kinked, using just a wooden rolling pin for pasta and some gentle heat, in some parts.
It takes some patience, but it was important to keep the original face plate on this one, since it's the original 48K of a friend of mine, and all the dings and dangs that it had, meant something to him.

But your face plate, actually looks flat and straight.
