Jessie's Gumdrop - Day 06 Update

Since I got caught up gaming last night, I never removed the tape from the inverter, so this morning I went down to do that and see how the painted parts looked. There is a difference in how they look in natural light, looking at them with your eyes, vs how they appear in these pics, with the flash. I have to say they came out pretty good but these pics dont convey that very well. Here are the parts before tape removal

my pc swiss army tool has a little set of tweasers, so I used that to remove the tape (with a little help from a razor blade). Note to self: get an exacto knife.

talk about a washed-out pic. the "white" box in the center is supposed to be that sickening blue color (see day 06 update). Anyway the taped off areas for the connections and the inverter vent (square) came out pretty clean and the parts look good overall. The pics lead you to believe there is crap all in the finish. Well, there is, a little but like I said, the flash is really emphasizing it. It doesnt look like this in natural light. The buttons came out really good, which is what I was most concerned with

I am going to cut a small square of black modders mesh and super glue it over this sqare spot that wasnt painted. I think that will look cool. I didnt want to get paint in the inverter vent holes, and I didnt know of a way to temporarily seal the holes. They are real tiny, so I just taped it off.

from the other side, again, washed out - lol


So thats that, I guess. I could get into this painting stuff, its kinda fun I'll try and post some pics of the finish parts a little later on. Thanks for reading
