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.
