Case feet repair and internal side panel painting:
During the texturing I let some body filler escape to the plexi-glass and, now, had to repair it:
First, I removed the excess of body filler with the Dremel sander:
Finished one:
Got this:
Sanded one by one with 150 paper to remove every body filler traces:
Used the polishing Dremel bit with silicone to smooth the border and get a nice shiny:
In action:
This is the result of polishing:
Then I painted the scratched areas using the same colors:
Ochre:
Repair done:
All the feet painted and waiting for the titanium white with a dry paint.
Final result:
The ET side panel interior was a mess of colors, so, I decided to paint it in chrome to help the illumination:
This is the result (really shiny, mirror finishing):
That’s it for now. Be back soon.
See you,
Pedro Torres.

hey petro,
one question,
youve painted the side panel in chrome look, but the rest of the interior is bright yellow, isnt it? do leave that, or will it be shiny 8)
When I finish this 2nd fase will start a 3rd fase and maybe I should change the interior painting to chrome too, but, this time I'll leave this UV yellow.Quote:

Thank's for asking,
Pedro Torres.
What kind of chrome paint did you use?
Looks awesome, but I think I liked the flourescent green better. :D
