The Intelligence - Day44.4 - mini update - bottom half clear, top half lettering
Here's the case bottom half that got the clear a few days back. Never showed pics while wet, so since its dry, here's a few
...
If I am going to get the case lid cleared and done on friday (65F temps expected) then I needed to get the letter stencil stuff done. Last night, at some pretty late hour for a work-day, I got busy. I cut the stencils into the cover of a magaizine
angled it and taped it onto the case lid, then masked off for overspray
after 2 light coats of spray, and letting it sit for about 30 mins, I pulled off the masks, down to the stencil mask (bites nails)
pulled off lettering mask...
If I had to rate the lettering I'd give it a 7/10. I think it came out ok, it could have been better but it could be much worse too, so...
theres a bit of overspray around the letters but it almost looks like it belongs somehow. On friday I will re-assess the overspray and if its too much I can get in there with some 1500 and get rid of most of it.
Also youll note I decided to keep the stencil gaps in the O, P, and R. I looked at it long and hard and decided it wasnt worth taking the chance of freehand brush action to close the letters, vs how they look as is.
Overall I dont hate how it came out. The perfectionist in me wishes I did better, but the realist in me says it is good, and dont go mucking it up at this stage in the game. I am listening to the realist more closely lately.
More on friday - thanks for watching
