The Intelligence - Day 39 - Exhaust, Case Paint - win or phail? Live and learn
This part from yesterday, spent all kinds of time trimming it and sanding etc
then it cracked
put iton back-burner
heres the handle support all painted and cleared
next victim inserted into contraption, we'll come back to this guy...
back to the &*%%!@@#! vent. Busted out the 2-ton epoxy (maniacial laugh)
bonded it all up after sanding and cleaning etc, forgot to pic
the PSU shroud needed some work. Basically making a semi-shroud that will direct the psu exhaust thru a hose to the back vent
found hole center
purposely marked down and right to allow for magnetic strip and glue hieght/width
:bites nails: 3" holesaw in acrylic...
what a mess, but a success
trimmed part away from parent piece
cut the top and side flanges
(talk about a slick tool (scroll saw) - shaved an uneven edge right off, no fuss)
test fit the shroud for square
top needs to carry 1/8 past total width, almost messed this up
taped together for viewing (outside, back, from left)
sorry blurry, needed this perspective shot (inside, front, from front left)
regarding the paint in general, if the white is any indication of how the rest of the color will sit down and look when its dry (level and gloss) I am frigging stoked! Here's the taped stripe
marked off the keeper area, and sanded down the white edges (knocked down with 220, 400, 600) to get rid of the "shelf" effect that would occur otherwise. This sanding process did not cut the primer
detour, primed this part
painted it
end detour, taped off trim and innards, ready for red spray
said a prayer to the gods of Bill Owen
one coat
3 coats, sorry flash
(3?)
no flash - f* me this paint sits down nice
money?
so did I survive the stripe taping or no?
I'll let you decide... post your thoughts, Ill reply with info
thanks for watching
