Painting time!

First up, some wet sanding with 600grit. Made a makeshift sanding block with Styrofoam (its great for those curved edges)

Nice and frosty

Took a tip from Bill Owen

in his tutorial for spray painting with aerosol cans. Soaking it in warm water, giving the can better flow.

After first few coats and wet sanding.

The parts are quiet fragile, dropped one of them...

Waited for the paint to cure and joined it back together and resprayed. You wont even see the part when its assembled but that little chip is annoying me.

The overall finish is reasonable quality. I'm no professional
