On a Viscount project, I saved the same style half hoods that looked far worse. Viscount / Lambert had their own but now curious if the MAFAC type interchange. Looked like fungus growth plus splitting. Cleaned them in bleach and then made a slurry of shoe glue clear and some sort of thinner. I don't exactly recall and was just experimenting. Probably let them sit for 6 months before installing. They turned out pretty good and so far are lasting.

Not sure, last I did were black Campys and used automotive since I had some on hand. I feel half the battle is that it glues it to the lever and holds it together in place, can't imagine it being a big deal to peel off later.
