Panels in place
These will all need to be repainted
So yeah, I’m going to have to re-paint these panels. Either my clear coat is too old, my new can of anodized blue isn’t playing well with the other coats, or it was too humid or something. Also, I screwed up some of the parts that I had masked-off when I removed the tape – I ran an exacto blade along the edge of the tape before I peeled it off, but it actually looked better when I didn’t do that. There’s also a “dent” in the paint on the radar eye, where I watched a piece of fluff/lint/hair land on the primer, and I tried to gently remove it. Finally, I forgot to paint the blue ring around the collar, so I’d have had to break out the rattle cans again anyway.
But damn – it looks nice all put together, doesn’t it?
