The Intelligence - Day 43 - White stripe, again
taped off the case lid for the stripe
used the top half as the guide for the bottom
if you notice, the stripe tape on the bottom right is a shade wider than the top. this was due to the concavity issues of this case and trying to wrap flat tape around it. This was corrected before paint
overspray masking, bottom of case
same for top half (former "abomination-half"
)
all my ducks in a row, anyone seen my white shotgun?
detour!
since it was still early I decided to get some other stuff done before fumigating myself out of the garage. The rouging of the switch panel trim is a huge part of the finished look of this case so I did a little practice (recalling all of Syrillian's tips and advice)
I rouged a piece of black and clear scrap, just to test (they werent sanded clean so forgive the cruddy look) I wanted to see a)how long does the process take, and b)what does it look like when its done...
once I got the hang of it I made a classic-cattle-helper-contraption...
mounted a pice of wood to the work table, and added a protective pice of tape (x2)
thats my switch panel trim before rouge...
after...
where's Syrillian?!!? c'mere you big galoot!!
:hugs:
Syrillian
took that part out of the paint hanger contraption and put it to bed with thte other parts waiting for assembly
after blowing 1 coat of white...
after 3 coats, nestled in their beds
(I would have preferred less than 3 but red wasnt going down easy so I had no choice. If there's a "shelf", so be it
tomr evening I will try to get the insides cleared, paving the way for the stencil lettering and outside clear.
thanks for watching
